Why Put Your Life in Writing?

 

Do it for yourself

Do it for your siblings

Do it for your children

Do it for someone who loves you

  • Who are the people in Dad's photo album?

  • What were my Mom's greatest aspirations?

  • Why did we move so often? 

  • Why didn't we ever leave this town?

  • What did my grandfather do for a living?

  • What were their favorite hobbies?

  • How am like them? How am I different?

Do you ever find yourself asking such questions? Wouldn't it be nice if you could ask now and get the answers? You could at least fill in some blanks if the stories had been captured while your relatives were alive.

 

Do you want your family, your children, asking similar questions?

 

You may not get all the answers, but there is learning simply in the asking.

 

Benefits of writing your life story:

 

  Heal the past

  Leave a legacy

  Learn what you hold dear

  Pass on your values to family members

  Honor and acknowledge the life you've lived

  You won't leave love ones  holding the bag of

 questions
