(For me, it’s Rosemary Clooney singing, ‘Me and My Teddy Bear.’)Here’s an amazing truth. For those living with dementia, music can reach parts of their world, when spoken words from loved ones cannot. This is the incredible work undertaken by the charity, Playlist for Life who I want to highlight this month. (I’m grateful for one of the readers of TAoM who introduced me to the charity.)Music has unique power.Playlist for Life harness it as a tool to help people, especially those living with dementia, reconnect with their memories. You may know a person or caregiver, who could find their resources of tremendous benefit by creating a personal playlist for someone.Even for those of us not facing life slowly taking our memories away a day at a time, we can use music to recover a memory from our past. It’s another creative way of digitally documenting our life for the next generation.Playlist for Life encourages people to create personalised playlists that serve as bridges to their life stories.Imagine curating a soundtrack that reflects the chapters of your life—from the songs of your childhood, to the anthems of your adolescence, and beyond. This personal playlist could serve as a unique #DigitialLegacy keepsake, helping you capture your life story in an accessible, emotional way, to share with your descendants.
