Hello!!

I found this phrase "wills and woes" in a sentence:

"please share your wills and woes with us"

I tried to look it up in a dictionary. I did not find it. I googled it and found some sentences with this phrase. But I don't understand the meaning.

Will someone kindly explain to me the meaning and tell me if it is a frequently used word in english language?

Thank you in advance.

@bubu,
please share your wills and woes with us
= please share your wishes and troubles with us.

In my experience as a native speaker, is not particularly common, and since it involves alliteration of "w", it may imply a literary or poetic context.
