Mary K. - Edmonton, AB
“Your Legacy Echoes Network empowered me to address important end-of-life decisions I had been avoiding. The user-friendly tools, including fillable forms streamlined the process, making it straightforward to outline my wishes. Additionally the exclusive discounts on services were a valuable perk. It’s reassuring to know I’ve left a clear plan for my family moving forward.”
Ann M. - Stony Plain, AB
“I am so glad that I found Your Legacy Echoes Network! This website has saved me time researching end-of-life planning. I now know what I need to do to prepare me for my last days and my death. I have started the process by filling out a personal directive. I am impressed with how comprehensive it is! Even though, I originally viewed the website for end-of-life decisions, I was pleasantly surprised with how broad the website is! Thanks to the “Wellness Hub” I am now practicing relaxation with deep breathing! The links to gratitude and the importance of laughter were eye-opening. I’d like to give a hand to the creators of this needed website!”
Eliza R. - Calgary, AB
“Your Legacy Echoes Network is a fantastic website with great resources on well-being and legacy writing. It’s super easy to navigate, and the expert insights make it really helpful for anyone looking to reflect on their life journey.
If you’re going through a big life change, want to boost your well-being, or need help writing a legacy letter, this site is definitely worth checking out. Becoming a subscriber gives you even more support.”
Ashley S. - Edmonton, AB
“I can’t express how happy I am to have found Your Legacy Echoes Network. As someone with aging parents, and in my mid-forties, I find myself becoming increasingly anxious about aging and the complexities of pre-and post-end of life matters. These resources are a game-changer for me. It’s not just a site with a list to check off as my parents get older (although I searched for that and I’d have been grateful had I been able to find a comprehensive, Canadian-specific one), it’s also this holistic, wrap-around wealth of info on preventative health and mental well-being as we move through this part of life. The grief and legacy sections and materials – these are things you won’t find on any other related site. The educational materials have reduced my stress and I feel empowered to approach this stage of my life with greater peace of mind. The founders’ dedication to their project is evident in all aspects of their site and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for guidance and support in navigating the planning process.”
Dan D. - Edmonton, AB
“Wonderful resource for me and my family not just for demystifying end-of-life planning but also for living well now.”
Mavis C. - Medicine Hat, AB
“I joined as a Director and a Toolkit subscriber because I believe in the importance of the mission of Your Legacy Echoes Network.

Your Legacy Echoes Network provides carefully selected educational resources, practical tools, lived-experience stories, and professional perspectives related to healthy aging, grief, self-care, stress, connection, caregiving, and life transitions.
Our grief resources focus on living well through grief and taking life one moment at a time. They offer encouragement, connection, meaningful stories, and manageable ways to care for yourself while carrying loss.
Our resources do not replace medical care, counselling, psychotherapy, or other individualized professional services.
What are GuidingHeart Messages?
GuidingHeart Messages are guided legacy-letter workshops that help people preserve heartfelt words, stories, values, memories, acknowledgment, and encouragement for someone important.
The workshops use the GuidingHeart ECHOES Method to help people write naturally and meaningfully while avoiding advice, judgment, emotional pressure, blame, or expectation.
A GuidingHeart Message may be kept private, shared during the writer’s lifetime, placed in the Echoing Hearts Message Keeper, or stored in the Echoes Digital Vault.
What is the Echoing Hearts Message Keeper?
The Echoing Hearts Message Keeper is included in the Echoes Essentials Toolkit.

What is the Share Your Stories library?
Stored in the Wellness Hub, Share Your Stories is a moderated collection of real experiences shared with kindness, compassion, and honesty.
Community members may submit stories about healthy aging, grief, caregiving, changing health, family relationships, Executor responsibilities, personal growth, meaningful connections, or someone who made a difference in their life.
Stories are reviewed before publication to ensure they encourage and inspire without advice, judgment, blame, or pressure.
How are Partner Stories different from community stories?
Community stories are personal experiences shared by members to help others feel encouraged, understood, or less alone.
Partner Stories introduce Alberta professionals and entrepreneurs by exploring:
- What led them to their work
- The values that guide them
- What gives their work meaning
- What they have learned from the people they serve
- The positive impact they have witnessed
Partner Stories are human-interest profiles rather than professional tutorials. Paid Partner Stories are clearly identified so subscribers understand the nature of the feature.
What is How to Begin: The Experts’ Advice?
How to Begin is a separate tutorial area where professionals explain practical first steps and answer common questions about where to begin.
Topics may include:
- What to organize first
- What documents to gather
- What can be completed in 15 minutes
- When professional assistance may be needed
The page is overseen by YLEN members made up of volunteer and partner experts. Its purpose is to provide general education, not individualized professional advice.
What is the Professional Directory?
The Professional Directory helps Echoes Essentials Toolkit subscribers discover professionals and service providers whose work relates to healthy aging, grief, caregiving, legal preparation, Executor responsibilities, life organization, and other important transitions.
Directory listings may include the professional’s services, location, credentials, contact information, and website.
Inclusion in the directory does not represent a guarantee or endorsement of a professional’s services or outcomes. Subscribers should review credentials and determine whether a provider is appropriate for their individual needs.
Does Your Legacy Echoes Network provide legal, financial, medical, or counselling advice?
No. Your Legacy Echoes Network provides general educational information, guided tools, community stories, and practical resources.
We do not provide:
- Legal advice
- Financial advice
- Medical advice or treatment
- Counselling or psychotherapy
- Crisis intervention
- Individualized professional recommendations
Subscribers should consult an appropriately qualified professional when advice or services are needed for their specific circumstances.
How much do the plans cost?

The Echoes Essentials Toolkit is currently offered at an introductory price of $150 per year and includes access to the Echoes Digital Vault.
The Echoes Essentials Toolkit Value Package is currently offered at an introductory price of $300 for three individual Toolkit accounts. The account holders do not need to live in the same household. Each account renews individually at the regular annual subscription price.
