If you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, you may be familiar with the process that comes immediately after. Locating specific documents, various inquiries regarding policies, important paperwork, etc. None of it enjoyable, but all of it necessary. What if it didn’t have to be this way? What if, upon death, families had one single place to turn to for all of these things? Families would be able to easily access what they need to move forward in their grieving process.
There is such a thing as a virtual vault where all of your most important documents can be stored for future access. You can designate a specific person for each item you place inside the vault, or a single person for everything. There may be items that are needed immediately after your death, which you would assign to the appropriate person. Other items that may not have the same urgency, maybe items with a more sentimental value, can be assigned to other family members, if desired.
Unfortunately, times of loss bring many emotions to the surface and can easily disrupt the grieving process and interfere with family dynamics. If you can minimize the possibility of this happening in your family by making sure that all of your affairs are safe, in order, and easily accessible, you are giving the gift of peace and security to your loved ones.
In life, so many things can happen, including natural disasters, hardware failure, and accidents. In a single moment, our personal possessions can be wiped away and gone forever. It has happened many times and devastated thousands of families. Photos, documents, special momentos, all gone in an instant. You can imagine the stress and ordeal that follows when those affected have to rebuild and restore whatever they are able to. It can be a long and arduous task, and even then, only some of what was lost can be recovered.
By placing your most important documents and other files in a virtual vault, you are ensuring that these things, as well as sentimental items such as videos, journals, and emails, are safely in place, forever. Your items are backed up and protected and will be there when the time comes for your loved ones to retrieve them. Knowing that your information is safely stored will bring you peace of mind and will offer your loved ones a smooth process during a very difficult time.
