New Online Memorial Website EternalLifeStories.com is Launched to Help Grieving Families Memorialize their Loved Ones
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 30, 2013 -- EternalLifeStories.com announced its official launch today. EternalLifeStories.com in an online memorial website where users can easily create an online memorial for their loved one and invite friends and family to post images, videos, and leave memories.
The inspiration for the site came after the loss of the company president's wife to brain cancer.
"I created this site with the inspiration from the loss of Mary Anne Hilley Jenkins: my wife, soul-mate, friend, confidant, lover, and pal. I lost her to brain cancer ( Glioblastoma ) and after her passing I was lost for some time in many ways," said David Jenkins, a resident of Atlanta, GA.
"What puzzled me greatly was that I could not find a way to share all my cherished memories of my beloved Mary Anne for eternity. I realized that others are also facing the same dilemma with photos and stories tucked away in boxes, albums and drawers that most of the family and friends would never have an opportunity to see.
I asked myself--how can I get Mary Anne's life story to all her loved ones? I needed to do this in a way that would capture the essence of the beautiful woman she was and celebrate the love and admiration her loved ones have for her. It needed to be elegant and easy," added Jenkins."
According to an article written by Frida Ghitis published in CNN on June 3rd 2013, she writes from experience that it can be an enormous comfort to have an online community to share grieving, condolences, memories, and love for a shared deceased friend. Ghitis is quoted as saying, “Hundreds and hundreds of people have poured out their emotions in that electronic community. At times, it feels as real, as close, as if we were standing in the same room. In some respects, we are closer. Online, people express themselves with a special openness. They don't have to wait their turn to speak, and the ones with small voices or introverted personalities can convey big, profound, touching emotions. Online we can develop a kind of intimacy that eluded us in the non-virtual world. On social media, we can share… big and small parts of our life, without worrying that others are too busy or simply not interested in hearing it.”
EternalLifeStories.com comes packed with features and options that separate it from the competition including:
• Ability to receive a custom QR grave marker to place on gravestone or urn
• Ability to have a completely public or private online memorial
• Ability to create a family tree of all relatives and family members to the deceased
• Ability to post stories, poems, images, videos, music, and documents
• Ability for visitors, friends and family members to share memories and pay condolences both privately and publicly to the family
• Ability to invite friends and family through various social media sharing options
• 100% completely safe and secure
"When David approached our company with help in developing this memorial website, our main goal was to create a site that truly leveraged today's technology and deploy an online system that would be extremely easy, affordable, secure, and most importantly pay elegant tribute to the loved one's that have passed," said Stefano Grossi, director of GrossiWeb, an Interactive Marketing Agency with offices in Atlanta, GA and Los Angeles, CA. "We are proud to be a part of an amazing tool to help families cherish and remember their loved ones and for friends to show support to the family," added Grossi.
The response from users thus far has been very positive. One of the first customers to the site, Bill Mathers, offered the following about his experience: " When my mother passed away unexpectedly this month, our family and friends were scrambling to attend the funeral. Our family is scattered all over the country and the world. This site was very helpful in creating a memorial where we could all collaborate together online and leave a legacy of my mother for all to share. Everyone was able to login from their computers and share memories and photos and the result was truly beautiful. I'm especially excited that now we have this eternal memorial that we can share with future generations in our family, some whom never had the opportunity to meet my mother."
