At my cousin Britini's school, there's this girl(Chelsie) who lost her memory. She can remember SOME things, i think, but not much(like who Britni is). Well, Britni was talking to her during her Art class, and she wasn't sure what to do. In 4th grade she was in a play with Chelsie, and wants to know if it's okay to talk about it and "remind" her of it. Is that good, you know to trigger their memory? Or should they just act like they just met or something like that? Because I would definetely be a little freaked out that this person knew more about me than I did...

I am one of those people that can't remember my childhood. I have a pretty poor memory compared to others and my husband and family are very aware of it.
I love it when people remind me of things. Of course, they assume that I remember but when I give that blank look, they often will just remind me.
I don't know why your friend lost their memory, but over time it is really annoying to the person that has it. Having someone remind me is the best thing I could ask for.
Just a recommendation from someone who lives it.

I would say yes. Mainly because if could help the person remember. The only thing that I would suggest though, is that you tell the person telling the story that the person being told the story may not remember, and to not be offended or hurt if that person doesn't remember.

well if she has lost her memory im sure she knows that she has lost memories and if it isnt a bad memory i dont think it would matter, mayb if there is photos of the play your cousin could show them to her so she can make a new memory of it. However she should be careful that this girl isnt sensitive about her situation - if she is, id tell your cousin to just keep it to herself

Yes it's okay. People with memory loss would usually like to be reminded of the time when someone shoved a pencil in their ear or stole their boyfriend, etc.
Who knows, maybe a traumatic memory might be just what they need to recover.

I don't think it would be about someone knowing more about yourself then you I think it's more like reliving a happy moment and when telling it just express how happy you were. If she doesn't remember then at least she can be told of the wonderful experience that was shared and good luck!

It should be fine to talk to her about things in your common past. It might trigger a memory. Of course, if it seems to be upsetting to the girl, then you would know it's time to stop.

No, but it would be fun to make up stuff that really DIDN'T happen and embarrass them with it! Hee hee!
