The Irish Hospice Foundation did this thing called Lifestory a few years back which was a big huge book in a lovely case for this very purpose. It has lovely prompts, and places for pictures, etc. It was/ is €40 to buy. I got one, wanting to fill it in. Then I thought it would be cool to get my parents to do, but we ended up giving it to my boyfriend's grandmother. She started showing signs of Alziemer's shortly afterwards, so I know she never began filling it in.
