Recover my memory

1. How would you begin the process of recovering your memory? Who would you turn to, where would you search, and how would you proceed?

I would first find the support from my family and old friends. I would look at the old pictures and videos while my family and friends tell me the things related to the pictures and me. My family and friends would also take me to the places where I lived before, especially the places where special things happened to me. For example, I would visit the playground near my grandma’s home because I broke my chin over there. Furthermore, I will do the things again with my family and friends in the same place in order to trace the memory.

2.Please describe the emotional journey you imagine you would be going through as you attempt to reconstruct your life. Imagine the feelings you would have.

At first, I probably would feel anxiety and confused because I cannot remember anything happened before the injury. After that, I probably would feel lots of love from my family and friends because they still love me so much and help me recover my memory. I would become happy and excited when I progress day by day.

3.Suppose you were able to pick and choose the memories you wanted to recover from your life. What types of memories would you choose to retain and what types of memories might you decide to edit out of your remembered experience? Positive, negative, painful, happy, angry, frightened, etc. Please elaborate and explain some your decision making process

If I were able to pick and choose the memories that I wanted to recover from my life, I would choose to retain the happy memories and edit out the painful and bitter memories. I think that it is kind of luck to edit out some of our memories because those painful memories just would come back to mind over and over again even though things have passed for a long period of time.
