It includes my Reflection Sessions – A sanctuary for caregivers, rememberers, and those carrying fragile legacies.
The journey to caring for someone — a parent, a partner, a child, a sibling is not planned. It just happens to most of us. Love takes us and keeps us there. But many times, Love alone is not enough.
Re-story Africa was born from this quiet, aching truth. Here, we hold space for people who are walking the long road of caregiving, those supporting loved ones through dementia and the slow fade of memory, long-term illness, or children who are differently abled. We know how heavy it can get. How isolating. How easy it is to disappear in the service of love.
But we also know this: you matter, too. Your mental health. Your body. Your spirit. Your story. This space is not just about remembering others ; it’s about remembering ourselves. Our needs. Our boundaries. Our grief. Our strength.
We don’t promise answers. But we offer presence. Listening. A shoulder. A breath.
Whether you are:
- supporting someone with Alzheimer’s or terminal illness,
- Caring for children – whether neurodivergent, physically challenged, or living with developmental conditions like autism or Down syndrome.
- caring for a parent or spouse in hospice or
- carrying ancestral memories that are too painful to bear alone
This is a space for:
- honest reflection and storytelling
- tools for emotional resilience
- connection with others who understand the invisible work of care
- and reminders that you are not alone in this journey
If any part of this speaks to you — sign up and join the Memory Keepers Circle.
Because the ones who hold the memories also deserve to be held.
Join the list to get access to practical tools and special offers. Just for you!
My name is Muthoni
I am an award-winning author and caregiver. I write to honour our culture and heritage. I also write for the overcomers , caregivers, truth-tellers, survivors, and curious children who want to learn through adventure.
This is where I share what I’ve learned – to help others navigate, heal, and grow – through stories, tools, and resources.
If you’re here to explore or simply to know you’re not alone, you’re in the right place. I started the Memory Keepers Circle in honour of my mother, who is living with Alzheimer’s, and in memory of my grandmother, who was afflicted too, in memory of the stories they once told me and others, including the ones I now hold for them.
I know what it means to love deeply and care fiercely, even as the weight of care grows heavier each day. If you’re walking that path too — you don’t have to walk it alone.
with love and light,
Muthoni Thang’wa
I help people live alongside grief without losing coherence, dignity, or direction. What those who work with me (clients), individuals and groups gain:
- Language for their loss
Especially for anticipatory, ambiguous, and transitional grief — the kind society struggles to recognise. - Stability without denial
- Tools to remain functional without suppressing grief or being consumed by it.
- Permission to pause
- A rare space where grief is neither pathologised nor rushed.
- A re-anchored sense of self. Particularly after role loss (career, caregiving, identity shifts), where grief is about who you were as much as what you lost.
Before working with me, individuals and groups felt:
- – Disorientation
- – Unnamed grief
- – Guilt for “not coping properly”
- – Pressure to move on or stay productive
