2. Use Technology

Technology is the low-hanging fruit of memory-keeping. Emails, texts, and apps allow us to work virtually and socialize remotely. The power of these devices can easily be harnessed to keep your loved one’s memory alive. The tools are already in your pocket and on your desk.

The Forget Me Nots here will enable you to remember in a contemporary context. By incorporating memories into your digital life, a dual opportunity exists to reflect and receive: You can share memories while simultaneously taking comfort in the stories and support that ricochet back. This symbiotic relationship is historic. It makes your loved one forever relevant and accessible, especially important if you’re trying to get teens and tweens to remember as well.

On the following pages, each Forget Me Not suggests an opportunity for using technology. All share a common goal: encouraging you to integrate your loved one into the rich and varied digital life you already lead—whether at home, at work, or on the go.
