A memoir is a lifetime of experience and learning passed on to future generations. Otherwise, it’s a lifetime lost, like a library burning to the ground.
What our memoir partners say …
“I love partnering with my 99-year-old aunt to write her memoir. She lives 3000 miles away, so we have to adapt the partnering method using the phone and with help from her local family members. Her photos are great and we both so enjoy getting to the heart of her story with the memory prompts. I’m excited to finish her memoir so we can all honor and celebrate her life at her 100th birthday party. Not a minute to lose!.”
“My dad didn’t like to talk much about himself. When I got him focused on photos and memorabilia, it opened a new world of discussion. He realized the many successes he had and we laughed a lot. The Memoir Partnering Method brought us much closer together.”
“My mom and I love doing this. From the beginning, I had a sense of relief knowing where to start. The questions are awesome. The prompts make a world of difference as they bring out information I hadn’t thought about. And I’m learning things about my mom I never knew. This method has been a gift to both of us.” Rosemary with her 86-year-old mom.
