We're not just collecting stories—we're supporting well-being, reducing regret, and creating living legacies that matter.
Storytelling:
What the research tells us
70% of adults regret not asking more questions
According to a 2022 YouGov survey, 70% of adults said they regret not asking their parents or grandparents more questions about their lives. The most common reasons? They thought there would be more time, didn’t know how to start, or felt too awkward to ask. (Source: YouGov America, Dec 2022)
This insight is at the heart of why Remember the Time exists: to help families capture their loved ones' stories before it's too late
Storytelling strengthens memory & connection
Personal storytelling has been shown to deepen intergenerational connection.
Families that share stories across generations report stronger bonds and greater resilience in children. (Fivush, Emory University)
Life review therapy has been shown to increase life satisfaction in older adults. (Journal of Aging Studies, 2019)
Legacy work reduces end-of-life regret
Research shows that structured storytelling at the end of life—known as legacy work or dignity therapy—has cognitive benefits and has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help people feel their lives have meaning.
“The opportunity to reflect and share one’s life story improves psychological well-being for older adults and provides emotional closure for their families.”
