That hospital sounds really nice and forward thinking. I've done some journal jars as gifts for people, if you are interested I can send you the journal prompts (if I can figure out how you are all getting email addresses for each other without the private message feature). Anyway, they are a bunch of one liner "prompts" for people to sort of write their life story. Sounds like it could go with the life story thing you have.
For me, I printed them all out, cut each prompt out, folded them, then filled a clear glass cookie jar. Then as gifts I give people the jar and a nice journal to go with it. They can take out one prompt at a time and journal.
Examples are things like.... "favorite childhood memory", "favorite Christmas", "favorite teacher", "Your wedding day", "hardest life lesson you learned" etc........
People seem to love these, and the receivers end up leaving a GREAT legacy behind for their family with all this information!
