Gathering Story Journal PDF Download

The perfect way to gather family history is through a guided journal. For years, I've been urging my family and friends to tell their stories and to get their family history before it's too late. But, I understand that it's sometimes hard to get those conversations started - even for me. That's where this journal comes in. Think about your parents and grandparents. I'm sure you can think of things you wish you'd known about them. Think about your children, grandchildren, or family friends. What are the things you'd like them to remember about you? Maybe this journal is about preserving memories for yourself for one day when your mind gets tired. Regardless the reason, this prompt journal will become a priceless possession to you and your family. One more thing - family dynamics are different; I came up with these prompts with that in mind. Not everyone has a relationship with their parents. Not everyone has a spouse or significant other. Not everyone has children. And not everyone should have to dread a book like this because of it. I get it. I tried to focus on the individual as much as possible. In the prompts where family is mentioned, I tried to give alternate options to answer instead. No one can tell your story like you can.

Sometimes elderly individuals have difficulty carrying out tasks such as reading and writing. An ideal solution would be to have younger generations record the responses for the aging parent and/or grandparent. Not only would it provide a valuable service when needed, but the bonding that can come from those moments is simply immeasurable. At Old Soul Publications, our goal is to bridge the generational gap through interactive journals.
