On this episode Ariel is joined by Eileen Vierra to talk about memory books and how they can keep alive the memory of somebody you love who has passed or keep memories alive for those with dementia.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s important to tell stories, but it’s also important to write them down. When my grandmother had dementia I created a 7x’’ book for her reminding her who people were. People with dementia remember really old memories, not current ones which is fascinating because you think that memories fade when you get old.
The sense of smell in the brain is close to the memory centre in the brain. That’s why, if you walk into a place & you smell cookies, it can take you back in time to when you were a little kid, or when you smell someone’s perfume & it reminds you of your grandmother.
Celebration of Life books are important for a couple of different reasons: They give you a place to go to relive somebody who’s special in your life that has passed. Sometimes photos drive the book and other times text drives the book. You can also do them for pets.
You can also put generational information in the book about who the person was, who their parents were, where they were born, names, dates, family information & history. Not only do you then have that information but so does your whole family, especially if you make copies of it and share it with them. It tells the story of their life, their businesses and how they changed over time.

BEST MOMENTS

“Looking at scrapbooks and memory books illicits memories from the past.”

“Photos take you back in time, they’re like tickets to the past.”

“The process of making the books can be really therapeutic for people.”

“Nostalgia is good for people’s psychology & their social wellbeing.”



ABOUT THE GUEST

Eileen Vierra has worked in many different industries, from banking to teaching, & even as a tour guide for T-Mobile Park & the Seattle Mariners. But, through her life, one thing has remained constant: Scrapbooking. She loves creating things that tell a story, that can be held & felt, that are cherished for years to come.

Eileen then learned about Creative Memories where she could create scrapbooks for others. She quickly realized that her business was going to beyond selling products, she wanted to see how to do it for themselves. So, she set up Saturday Workshops for them & later ‘Coffee Crops’ daytime workshops & more recently, Weekend Scrapbooking Retreats.

Eileen considers herself an educator, a scrapbooker, & a facilitator who doesn’t just provide the supplies but shows people how to use them.
