So what is a digital legacy exactly?
A digital legacy is digital information about someone that is available after their death. People’s digital legacies are typically moulded by the interactions they had and the information they created. This could include their social media profiles, online discussions, images, videos, gaming profiles, and their website or blog, among other things. It can also be something more personal like a private message to a loved one.
Content published or co-authored by others can potentially influence someone’s digital legacy. Interactions that took place on someone else’s social media wall or stream may be included. What others have written about a person in a newspaper, blog, or other website may influence their digital legacy.
Planning a digital legacy
Planning something to do with death is definitely morbid but it is something that needs to be done. Here are some tips to help you ease any uncomfortable feelings you may have about planning a digital legacy:
-
Don’t worry about what you perceive as ‘normal’
It is human nature to question our behavior and thoughts and compare them to others and what we think is right or wrong. Please try not to worry about what the ‘acceptable’ response is to talk about death. Everyone is an individual, and therefore, we all respond differently to the subject of death. Some may be fully transparent while others may take a more reserved approach. Whatever you are feeling does not matter – what matters is that your feelings are validated and you get the help you need.

Reach out for support
You don’t have to face this alone. Reach out to other family members or close friends who can help you through this process.
