Discover Beautiful Memory Books for Your Loved Ones
Life Story Books - for comfort during separation and a meaningful aid for memory loss.
Turn the pages on Elizabeth's flip book to give an idea of something I could create for you! Every book is handmade and tells their story - making it truly one-of-a-kind!
I engage with family members, gather information, photos and memorabilia and put everything together in a ‘This is your life’ format from birth to the present, enabling them to reminisce about the ‘good old days’ and share their life experiences with family and friends carers and care home staff.
I will work alongside you gathering up the memories that capture your unique bond and collate them all in a personalised book to share and treasure for years to come and pass down through the generations. A meaningful memory book tells the life story of you and the people that matter most to you.
I create these books in a 'This is your life' format beginning with your loved one's parents
... after all, that is where their journey really began !
This is your life ... Christine,
celebrating 60 wonderful years in your personalised memory story book !
The book was AMAZING Kate, and the family were completely overwhelmed by it and the way it helped Mum settle into her new surroundings.
Not only did it remind her of us all, but how it helped her to interact with the staff and other residents- once again, THANK YOU so much x
Memories ...
So, from birth until the present day using personal photos and information to produce a unique memorable story of their life. I can write you a suggestion/idea list of all the milestones and events we experience through life, such as:
Birth, first home, Christening, first birthday/tooth, steps ... the list goes on!
Playschool, Primary, Secondary,
College and University
Grandparents, siblings and relatives
Family holidays and special occasions
Homes and pets
Careers and jobs, achievements
& Hobbies
Engagement and Wedding
Their children and grand/great grandchildren
Retirement
Tip:
The magic of these books is in the personal touches you choose to share — the more little details, photos, and memories you’re happy to include, the more I can create a truly meaningful keepsake that’s made just for you, rather than something off-the-shelf.
To be able to recall a lifetime of memories, this book just brings it all together - making a wonderful life story book for the elderly, grand parents, anyone suffering memory problems., or maybe moving into care.
This is truly an AMAZING keepsake ... just think how your loved one's memories will be passed on down the generations and children can learn all about what Granny did at school and the adventures Grandpa got up to in the Army !
In their own words " We care when there is no cure, whatever the illness. We'll ease your pain, protect your dignity and support the people you love." Such beautiful words! Below I have attached an AMAZING post describing how one of the main challenges with dementia is communication and outlining how important it is to be able to share their life stories with their loved ones!
Life stories are so important and something
that can bring great joy to share !

A personalised book created from photographs stories and memories that celebrate a person's life

Perhaps your loved one lives a long way away from relatives or may need to move into residential care. These special keepsakes can help with that transition, again reminding them they are always in your thoughts, loved and never forgotten!
There are also so many other ways to help people in this situation struggling to remember as their memory starts to dim. Whether it from dementia and alzheimers, or simply just 'getting old' ... our memories are precious and deserve to be kept.
I would just like to include a link to the incredibly valuable information and advice Marie Curie offer ... contact www.mariecurie.org.uk/information for help and advice.
I am so passionate about preserving the ability to hold onto our memories. I have MS which has affected my own memory from both past and present so I appreciate just much how it can impact on a person’s mood when they are unable to recall and share those precious memories with family and friends!
Together we can create something special,
handmade & unique to celebrate an AMAZING life !
I am up for a challenge so, if you have an idea of something special, personalised
and unique, please do get in touch with me as I would LOVE to help!
