Nobody wants to be forgotten. But when we pass away, our memories, the family tradition and culture we come from vanish unless we record and document them.
The interest in personal and family memoirs has grown dramatically in the last few years — especially since the baby boomers are reaching retirement age. Not only do they want to see their life stories recorded but their elderly parents’ memories as well. Here is where Legend Crafter can help.
Wouldn’t it be unthinkable if your grandchildren or children did not know your particular story? If they didn’t know your experiences as a very young child with your own parents? Of your struggles growing up, raising a family, of your life in business? Most likely, they will not know the story of your grandparents simply because so few families document these memories.
Having a collaborator such as Legend Crafter in telling your story allows you to explore thoughts, memories, insights and traditions without the added obstacle of becoming a writer yourself.
I have seen elderly people tell me their stories and their life has been transformed. Old wounds and family discord have been ameliorated by the mere process of sharing one story to a trusted collaborator.
Some of my clients have even use their memoir as the diving board to a published book. With a skilled writer and Legend Crafter––with an international perspective––listening, asking questions, interested in your story, helping make connections, providing research, you can count on your story fulfilling your deepest longings.
BUT MY RELATIVE HAS PASSED AWAY.
Perhaps the person you want to remember and whose life you want to document has died. You and even your relatives and friends can meet with me to share your memories of that dear one.
Legend Crafter can help you by stimulating your memories of mother or father or Uncle Jack. I will assist you in collecting the memorabilia and photography that reflect his or her life. With my help, you and your family can create an album of your memories and pictures.
IT’S IMPORTANT.
In America, life moves so fast. People no longer live their lives in their birthplace. Grown children and their children move away. It is harder and harder to keep the family and family lore intact. Documenting your life or supporting your parents to do so is vital to maintaining recollection of your family’s history that you can pass on to the next generations.
