On Mother’s Day we think about, of course, our mothers.

They brought us into this world, nurtured us, educated us, paid for us and still play a big part in our lives.  For those whose mothers aren’t alive, their absence often highlights how much we loved them because we miss them and their love for us all the more.

So with Mother’s Day only two days away, consider the virtues of buying your mother a Lifebox.

This is a specially designed and easy to use secure online storage area in which her digital memories, images, videos, music, wishes, achievements can be stored.  If she’s not confident with computers, then younger members of the family can help her, which will increase the bonding between family members of different generations.

Populating the Lifebox with her memories, names of her friends and relatives and her life story means personal family and social history is captured that would otherwise be lost forever.

It also means that your mother will feel valued and pleased that the family want her memories to be accessed and read for generations to come. And you and your offspring will also find reassurance and happiness in opening her Lifebox from time to time to know more about her, her life, her achievements, her dreams, her wishes.

You will also find it useful too as it will encourage her to write down her final wishes and the information the family will need when she eventually passes.  Okay, this might seem shocking, but it’s far more shocking when nothing has been planned, nothing decided and the details you or the executor is lost or difficult to locate.

But to stress the positive…how wonderful that by having her Lifebox, your mother’s memory will live forever.
