The best presents are thoughtful, unique and unexpected. If you have family members who are difficult to buy for, a professionally written Life Story could be the ultimate Christmas gift this year.
What would it mean for a loved one to have their Life Story carefully documented in honour of their lives? How special would it be to have a legacy document that could be handed down through the generations that keeps the ancestry threads alive?
As professional Life Story writers, we have seen how much people value telling their story knowing it is being captured and preserved forever. This is especially true for elder members of the family who have decades of stories and lessons to share but may not have the capacity or time to write their own manuscript. We provide a willing and sensitive ear that sifts through memories and creates a meaningful narrative that is a joy to read.
The gift of a Life Story is more than just having words on the page. It is also the opportunity to capture untold tales, bring sense to life events, and share not only the what but also the why of their lives. The gift of a Life Story can be a gift on many levels: it is a chance for sharing, a way of having people we love feel really heard, and a part of an inheritance that is felt on an emotional and even spiritual level.
A Life Story preserves what is important in an everlasting way that serves the family for generations. A written story is just one option. The scope for video and audio story capturing provides either a point of difference or even an opportunity for multiple story telling mechanisms to be woven together to meet different needs. Listening to or watching a Life Story is a rapidly growing area of this work.
Every story is interesting. As professional Life Story Writers we can create narrative threads that make stories alive and poignant. Engaging, readable, well written copy is what your loved one’s story deserves, and we bring decades of experience to ensure the best possible outcome.
A Life Story is a gift that is rare – a gift that is a welcomed opportunity to reflect on life and leave a mark.
Prepared for family and friends, a personal and everlasting Life Story is ultimately a gift for everyone.
