"Dad died a few weeks after he offered to "guinea-pig" these questions for me.  It was such a gift to see him light up remembering his youth and his playful spirit that had been so hampered by his illness.

​

The gift of being able to say "In Dad's words..." at his funeral was immense.  We could create a fitting tribute based around his stories and experiences because of the Gentle Conversations questions.

​

It was also lovely to have the comfort of thinking about what he said he'd miss and how he would comfort us.  My brother had to go into work a day or so after Dad died and that was tough.  When he left to go home the field below was freshly mown, a smell Dad said he would miss.  It was like an encouragement from him.

​

We didn't get to talk about his death but the "Legacy Questions" were so precious and are like a family heirloom now."
