“Having worked in hospice care for several years, I have seen how meaningful it is to leave something tangibly and directly personal for a child or grandchild. To receive a gift of this nature, especially as a child but also as an adult, it a treasure – a gift of life that will last a lifetime… I have something from my father. It’s truly and act of love and a priceless opportunity.” – Dr Craig Matsu-Pissot, ‘Friends for Life’
“My husband died in a car crash – he was fit, strong and never felt he’d die.” – Alicia
“It sounds very exciting and enlightening, and is/will be a great resource for bereaved children.” – Stephanie Cadieux, when acting Minister for Children and Families, Legislative Assembly BC
“I am very sick now. I have used your app with much gratitude. You can print this to tell other people to do their recordings. I was perfectly well one year ago and now I am weak and I have been told I have months. You should tell people to do it because you never know what is around the corner.” – Jean, 39
“I have a disease that is likely, in time, to limit my ability to talk – I use it all I can till then.” – Jacinta
“I found this hard to do and I took my time doing it but I am pleased with the results. I answered only the questions I wanted to. I am pleased it will be here when perhaps I am not.” – Martha
“Have you thought about people with dementia ? We have begun to use the device with our mum so she can record her memories. Cheers.” – Mark & William
“My dad recorded his when he was very healthy and fit. Now he is very weak, the family comes together at his bedside and we watch this disc with him. It is a beautiful memento – it is wonderful to see him fit and healthy, talking about what really has mattered to him. Thank you for making this possible for our whole family. I hope everyone does it; he even enjoyed recording it too – it was the only time ever that we sat as a family and listened about his life seriously!” – Bella
“I gave up my daughter for adoption. I hoped she would come looking for me. I am recording answers for my daughter. I am scared she’ll want to know me and I’ll be gone.” – Debbie
