When I’m Gone, the 65Nation Planner

Imagine your granddaughter opening a letter from you on her wedding day. In your words, with what you’d want her to know.

That’s one of the pages in When I’m Gone. Beyond the accounts, passwords, medical wishes and paperwork, it has room for what only you can leave: letters to your spouse, children, and grandchildren, with simple prompts so the words come easier. Who gets your ring or your watch, and why. The family stories and recipes that shouldn’t disappear.

You don’t have to be a writer. One page in your own words is enough.

$14.99, part of a 111-page planner in large print for the people you love.
