FYA 56: Case study: Helping my 98yo grandmother write her autobiography


Listen Later

Part 1: A challenging and rewarding journey to record a special life story.

It has been a year since I gave my grandma Bonnie the very first copy of her life story - a labour of love that is close to her heart!

And given we marked St Valentine's Day earlier this week, I thought it would be timely to look back on how I got started helping my grandmother write her autobiography.

⇨ YOU WILL LEARN:

* About the autobiography's false beginnings

* The key technique that helped my grandmother record her memories

* How the life story nearly got derailed after a few chapters

* What it took for grandma and I to get the family history project moving again

* The way I turbocharged writing an autobiography

* Know writing a life story means facing challenges and finding courage to keep going!
