Questions to Ask Your Parents and Grandparents: Guided Interview Workbook to Document the Life of an Older Family Member

Book Synopsis: Do you worry that you'll never get around to asking your parents or grandparents questions about their lives? If you are one of those parents, do you wish you had an easy way to document your life for your family? A while ago, I experienced the loss of an older family member. I visited her weekly at a care facility. We would casually chat about many things, but not much about her life. Looking back, I realize that I could have been asking and recording questions about her life for family generations to come. I decided to make a workbook to help others have a categorized list of life questions. This book includes over 300 questions in 51 categories, with space to answer, where you can ask family members about their lives.

Ways you can use this workbook:

• In-person interactive: Ask your parent or grandparent the questions during single or multiple conversations and fill them out by hand.
• In-person with video or audio recorder: Use the workbook as a guide to ask the questions vocally and record the answers.
• By the parent or grandparent themselves: Fill in the answers yourself over time. Once done, you can save or give it to your descendants.
