💐 What We Leave Behind

In South Africa, Women’s Month reminds us of the strength, sacrifice, and spirit of generations of women — many of whom never had the chance to tell their stories.

But what if we changed that?

What if your story didn’t disappear in whispers at a funeral, but was told clearly, proudly, and with love?

📜 What They’ll Remember (Hint: It’s Not Your Job Title)

When someone passes, we don’t talk about their CV.
We talk about how they made us feel.
What they stood for.
What they believed.
What they survived.
And what they passed down.

Your life is more than your work.
It's your laughter, your lessons, your rituals, your faith, your fears — and your fire.

And that legacy deserves to be remembered your way.

✍️ The Living Tribute: Start Telling Your Story

You don’t need to wait for anyone else to write your eulogy. Start today — write what you want them to know.

Here’s how:

✅Start with your roots

Where were you born? Who raised you? What traditions shaped you?

✅Share your turning points

What were the moments that changed you — joyful or painful? (You don’t have to share everything. Just what feels true.)

✅Pass on wisdom

What do you want your daughters, nieces, friends, or community to know? What helped you survive? What would you do differently?

✅Write a letter to your future funeral

It can be light-hearted. It can be powerful. It can include:

• A message for your kids
• A reminder to celebrate you, not just mourn
• A playlist or reading that reflects your spirit

This isn’t about being morbid.
It’s about being seen.

🌼 Celebrate You While You’re Here

Funerals aren’t just for grief. They’re for love, celebration, and honouring a life that mattered. Too often, that story is left unfinished.

• So, write your story now.
• Share your voice.
• Choose the music.
• Name the friends you want to speak.

• Make space for joy.
