Questions to Ask Before It’s Too Late

Because the conversations we avoid often become the ones we regret most.

We think we’ll always have more time. More dinners together. More visits. More chances to ask the questions that matter. But life has a way of reminding us that time isn’t promised.

The truth is, our parents, grandparents, and elders hold stories, wisdom, and history that can’t be Googled or replaced. Yet too often, we miss the chance to ask until it’s too late.

What We Wish We’d Asked

What was your childhood like?
 What lessons guided your life?
 What’s the story behind that photo in the hallway?
 What do you want future generations to know?

Simple questions like these can unlock extraordinary stories. They turn memories into living history, gifts that can guide families for generations.

Preserving the Answers That Matter

Asking is the first step. But preserving those answers is just as important. Handwritten notes fade. Phones get lost. Clouds aren’t always reliable. That’s why intentional preservation matters.

At Aeternum, we help families ask, capture, and protect these meaningful conversations, ensuring that no voice or story is ever lost to time.

Because someday, the stories you gather today will be the stories your children treasure most.
