“MemoryBox delivers real clinical benefits.“

According to Dr. Clay Routledge, MemoryBox has been clinically proven to be beneficial in grief recovery. Dr. Routledge is a world-renowned expert in the psychology of memory, nostalgia, and death, the author of 85 scientific papers and the recent book Nostalgia — A Psychological Resource, as well as a popular blogger for Psychology Today.

“Nostalgia acts as a psychological resource that helps people cope with life’s stressors and uncertainties, resulting in increased positive mood, self-esteem, feelings of belongingness, and perceptions of meaning in life. If you’re a family member or friend of someone who’s dying, or of someone who has recently passed, MemoryBox can help you cope with your loss more effectively, delivering real clinical benefits.”

Creating an “Event” Memory

With MemoryBox, you can create several types of Memories: People (e.g. online memorials); Places; Things; Ideas; and Events.

Event Memories are unique because they have a specific date and time associated with them; e.g. 01/26/2023  —  2:00-4:00 PM EST. When folks join an Event Memory, as long as their phone is equipped with the MemoryBox app, all the photographs they take with their phone during the event are copied from their photo roll and posted to the Event Memory online automatically — even if they’re not actively using the MemoryBox app but just their regular photo function!

No more: “I’ll send you those photos later.” Or, “I’ll get you a thumb drive once I transfer them.” You know this hardly ever comes true!

With MemoryBox, all the photos are assembled automatically into one place where everyone can share the event, and those fond memories are never more than a smartphone away.
