What does a dementia-friendly, stroke-friendly memoir journal look like? Well, of course you can create a memoir journal with just a notebook, but for some people, the problem is getting started! What do I even write about? And what if I can’t remember specific details or dates?

This is where a set of prompts can be very helpful. The prompts in My Memoir Journal have been carefully selected to be simple and general, rather than too specific. The space to write is limited, to encourage someone to write – or dictate – a few lines (there is extra space later in the book for longer stories!)

Reviewers say it’s easy to fill out, and the large print prompts are easy to follow, even for someone with dementia. Caregivers note that they found out things they didn’t know about their loved one!

The topics and the playful 1950s/1960s illustrations assume a 70+ age group. If you’re looking for a journal for someone a little younger, you could try My Full Life (for anyone with Younger Onset Dementia, or other health and life challenges).

Paperback and hardback, 90 pages, extra large font, large 8.5 x 11 inch format (that’s close to A4).
