Story telling is a way to define, make meaning and construct the self and we are three story tellers who believe that this is as important for people with dementia as it is for any of us.  Despite this we know that social isolation is both a risk factor and a symptom of worsening dementia.  We wanted to explore if people with dementia would enjoy a story telling group and to record those stories in a beautiful way that they could keep for the uncertainties in the future.  We asked people to bring an object that has been in their possession for a long time and tell the group the story of that object.
