‘I like the laughter, human connection, getting comfortable sharing, and
getting to hear other people’s stories.’

‘The “Story Starter” cards were wonderful tools for my grand daughters
to connect with their 91-year-old great grandmother. We all sat at the
dining room table and she shared stories of her younger years (some of
which were new to me!) There was a lot of laughter that day and the
girls learned some fun facts! Hopefully, these memories will be
cherished by them through the years. I would highly recommend using the
Story Starter cards for those with memory issues. It’s a great “jump
start” to initiate conversations with the elderly.’

Thought provoking…brain activity, listening skills, respect…provides platform for sharing.

‘I like the interactive quality of the program. It seems important any
time in life but especially at the end – as a way of pulling the threads
together.’

Hearing everyone’s story is so much fun. Thinking about family and the stories we all have.
