"Parents, grandparents,
and other family members hold a wealth of life experience that can fascinate the
younger generation as well as teach values, provide meaning, and offer a context
for exploring origins and identity. Stories can even help us to grieve and to heal."
Scientific research shows that many times
personal problems arise when there is a gap in our personal story. Story-gaps
are usually caused by emotional wounds that are created during the normal ups
and downs of life. On occasion, we are so emotionally jarred that a major section
of our story is lost or damaged and must be rebuilt from scratch.
