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

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 .
