I cannot recommend Saga enough for a situation like yours. It’s a free app that records their answers to questions you ask from pre-loaded decks or write yourself. Questions like, “what are you most proud of about your children?” And even why you picked their names etc you can scroll through with her and help her record. You can also add family members to your group so they can ask questions too. It’s brilliant. So much faster than writing it and they’ll be able to hear it in her words, forever.

First, thank you for sharing and staying curious around grief. It’s coming for my family well before our loved one is physically gone too and it’s been a panic to get memories recorded before they slip through our fingers. That said I CANNOT recommend Saga enough. It’s free, requires no physical writing, you get the app. Setup your “channel” , pick your questions, your loved one presses record and they speak their answers. So much faster, so much more personal than words on a page. To hear them TELL it in their own words is priceless. They have lots of pre-loaded decks to get the wheels turning but you can also write your own personalized questions. You can all gather together for a big recording sesh this holiday and go from there. And you can add other families to your podcast “channel” too and ask any of their questions too. It’s magic.
