Preserving Her Husband's Voice: How Michele Uses Remento to Capture Memories Before They Fade

When Michele gave her husband Remento, she hoped it would spark reflection. What she didn’t expect was how incredible it would feel to begin capturing and preserving his memories together, especially as he navigates memory challenges. Even before his book is complete, Remento has already brought them moments of joy, remembrance, and connection. They feel the recordings are priceless and will be cherished by their children and generations to come.

Why Michele Chose Remento to Preserve Her Husband's Stories

Michele first found Remento while searching for a gift that would be both meaningful and lasting. What drew her in was how effortless it felt to use. She quickly discovered how straightforward it was to add prompts for her husband. Remento sends these prompts directly to his email or as texts to his phone, which he can answer from any device with an internet connection. There’s no app to download and no password to remember.

"The experience of helping my husband record his memories has been priceless. I love Remento. It’s such a great gift, to him and to the whole family."

With a little help from Michele, her husband now spends time responding to prompts and recording his memories. Michele has also become an advocate for the power of recorded memories. She even shared her insights during a July 2025 webinar, offering heartfelt advice on making the most of the Remento journey.

Turning Questions Into Recordings Their Family Can Keep

The Remento journey begins with prompts that Michele thoughtfully adds. Their children and her husband’s siblings also contribute as Remento project collaborators, making sure the stories captured reflect what matters most to their family. Some prompts are personalized based on her husband’s personal details, others come from Remento’s expert question bank, and the rest are custom questions added by loved ones.

"Remento has given us a chance to reminisce and to share time together that we don’t always get to have."

Michele’s role is to guide and support, making space for her husband to be the one recording and preserving his stories. Each response is captured through audio or video and automatically transcribed into a written story using Remento’s Speech to Story technology. No writing is required. Collaborators then receive notifications whenever a new memory is added, keeping the process collaborative and deeply engaging.

The Joy of Preserving His Memories on Remento Forever

Even without the printed book in hand, the journey has been immensely rewarding. His personality comes through in recordings with the written stories, enhanced by the photos they pair with each chapter.

"Having his stories captured through Remento is wonderful. It’s been amazing to see what he’s been able to recall. The whole family can read, listen, or watch him as he shares what really happened in these memories."

This has been especially meaningful as her husband faces memory challenges. Research shows that people often recall their earlier life stories most vividly later on, a phenomenon known as the reminiscence bump. Capturing those memories while he can still share them ensures they are not lost and allows his family to revisit those moments of laughter, love, and identity for years to come.

When the project is complete, every recording will be compiled into a printed Remento book. Each chapter includes a QR code that lets the family not only read the story, but also relive the moment he told it, through his voice with his expressions, and feel his presence.
