What clients say about Zikra

My Dad was going through a difficult period of desperation and loneliness after my mother passed away. Waking up in the morning and facing a new day was hard. Zikra helped him look forward; he enjoyed sitting and talking about his childhood, his struggles and successes in the field work, and mostly talking about my mother.

My life was not a journey of roses and honey. I always tried to hide the difficulties of bringing up 3 children on my own. Losing my life partner at a young age was not easy. To have the opportunity to tell my story to my family and close friends was such an emotional and mental relief. I hope my children and grandchildren will learn a lesson from my hard times. This was an unforgettable process.

When my father was 82, his memory began to deteriorate. Zikra seemed like a good idea, before he lost his memory completely. The kindly and sympathetic team helped trigger his memories and helped him recall many forgotten incidents and events. Other stories were provided by his cousin, who lives in Canada, and my mother, who helped with the parts their early life together. The resulting book will preserve and keep the family history alive for the coming generations.

My uncle was simply blown away by the Zikra book and film. It was the best present we could possibly have given him. Every aspect of production is totally professional.

When my children announced to me on Mother's day that I will be interviewed to have my life story written in a book, I hesitated and felt it might be too difficult. Now after experiencing the time I spent talking to May, the patient lady interviewer, I say sincerely it was the best present I was ever given. I am so happy I am able to share my stories with my grandchildren."

When my 76 year-old aunt retired and started spending a lot of time at home, she was sad and lonely. She felt unneeded and useless. We knew that she had so many lessons to teach, so much advice to pass on. We contacted Zikra. It was a great experience, she felt valued and appreciated. We could see her lively character emerge again. And we all love the book she wrote.
