Death and Giving Memories

So I have been looking into death/what happens to the body and the passing of knowledge. Rich and I were discussing it and decided to concentrate on the passing of memories rather than what happens to the physical body. Below is just an idea of what I think we are talking about but I still haven't decided how to visualize it in the presestation. Please give it a read through and tell me what you think.

Once you feel you are reaching the end of your physical life on earth, you have a decision to make. You have memories, knowledge and experience. This is what matters; it’s the most important thing you personally have. It defines your real value, even important heirlooms you hand down are only important due to the memories attached to them.

What memories are you going to give back to the people you are leaving behind? It is important to carefully consider this decision, as it is your real legacy. When you pass on, your memories will be much more significant to your loved ones than your body.

When you know what it is you must keep and what it is that must be shared, you externalize the memories and choose who will be able to receive them. They will be kept safe until the time comes for them to be passed on.
