My Story – My Life

My Story – My Life Memory Journal

Working with Advocate Aurora Healthcare's palliative care team, I designed a memory journal for patients reaching the end of life. "My Story – My Life" gives people a meaningful way to capture their experiences, validate their impact, and create a lasting legacy for loved ones.

The journal features a warm scrapbook aesthetic with space for photos and guided prompts like "Favorite Season," "If I could do it again," "Humorous story," and "Medical Journey." These thoughtful headings help redirect thoughts, process emotions, and alleviate the rumination and depression that often accompany this stage of life—turning reflection into a therapeutic and purposeful act.
