We have all felt it: that ache when the chair across the table stays empty, when the phone no longer lights up with their name. In those raw moments, the idea of hearing their voice again (even a recreated one) can feel like oxygen. Companies are now racing to offer exactly that: chatbots, voice clones, even video deepfakes trained on old messages, photos, and recordings so the bereaved can “keep talking” to someone who is gone.

Losing a sibling cuts deep in a way few can fully understand. They were your first playmate, your secret-keeper, the one who shared your childhood adventures and dreams. That bond does not disappear with time. Instead, it lingers in the quiet moments—the empty chair at family dinners, the echo of a joke only you two understood. Honoring their memory helps keep their spirit alive and brings comfort amid grief.

Imagine a yellowed envelope tucked into a family Bible, its ink faded but words alive, whispering secrets of resilience and quiet joys to a child yet unborn. Legacy letters do just that: they bridge the gap between now and a hazy tomorrow, turning fleeting memories into threads in the grand tapestry of family lore.
