The Author

Writing has always been a passion for Lisa, and it’s her sincere wish that this (and future books) will reach as many children as possible. She had a background in Community Education during her 20’s, and this is where her ongoing desire to help children began to develop. Lisa went on to study nursing, and in her 50’s became a trainer in Vocational Education. She has now combined her love of writing and her life experiences as a mother of 3, a grandmother of 6, (and a step-grandmother to 3 more beautiful children,) to bring you this delightful book.

Saying Goodbye should be readily available to every child as it explains beautifully what parents and caregivers sometimes have difficulty trying to say. Simply written, this book will no doubt inspire both children and adults to move forward from grief, in the knowledge that they will always be able to remember those they love, long after they’re gone.

Due to Lisa’s stroke in October 2017 she was left fighting to regain her independence. Suddenly, the words she had written for her grandson, held even greater meaning than they did before.

Shai Lundgren

Self-taught in illustration with a qualification in Graphic Design, Shai finds passion in bringing her imagination to life through art. When Lisa asked her to work on Saying Goodbye, she welcomed the opportunity to use her artistic skills in creating something that can help children through difficult times.

Sigrid Wharton

Sigrid is a Fine Oil Painter and has been painting ever since she could hold a paintbrush. She strives to show others that art is a tool to personal and spiritual growth and is interested in healing through art. She worked closely with Lisa in establishing the initial artistic style for Saying Goodbye.
