Go try and guess, I’ll bet you’ll be wrong!
There are many things that you can prepare for a Life Story. The questions, location, additional information like photos but one thing you can be guaranteed of is, there will be surprises that will astound you.
These surprises could be in just hearing the stories that you haven’t heard, to new events happening as a knock-on effect of the stories finally being told. The certainty is, you’ll never guess the surprises that will come along, but they will!
Some of the unexpected things I’ve seen are:
- New stories of their life
- New relationships that were never known of
- Abilities and skills that are no longer used
- Interests that confound expectations of who you thought they are
- Others adding to the information with their stories
- People coming out of the wood work once the Life Story is shared
- New relationships re/developing
- Mending damaged relationships
- Discovering how much people really care
- Understanding why things happened as they did
- Generate forgiveness, compassion and understanding
- Discovering unknown of family members
- Bring families back together
- Understand what needs to be done into the future
- Desire to share more stories
- Encourage others to share their Life Story
- On & on the list goes…
