To preserve family memories, talk to older relatives, sort through photos, and record new events as they happen. It’s an important process because memories fade over time. Preserving memories lets you look back and see how far you’ve come, and to reflect on lessons learned, and on successes and failures. Children and grandchildren will benefit from recorded memories. There is evidence that children who know stories about their older relatives experience higher levels of emotional well-being. Note that It’s not just the big events that are worth recalling, it’s the everyday moments as well.
Key Takeaways:
- As we lose our memory as we age, we can look back at these recordings to relive our old memories.
- Watching old videos of yourself can allow you to see how much you have accomplished over the years and also allow you to reflect on your past.
- These family memories can be passed down to your children and grandchildren so they can see what life was like when you were young
