Ariella,

Thanks for sharing these reflections. I’m glad you had positive experiences and your family members brought you into their personal memories. I can relate to the feeling of tension when beginning, feeling unsure if the other person will want to talk to me. Almost every time, the experience is similar to how you described it: they get excited and open up quickly 🙂

I’m looking forward to reading/hearing about your future conversations to see how they change when you spend more time guiding the person through their memory.
