How The Idea Started
Says Anné:
“To me, the legacy of my mom, Myrna van Rooy, and her life was captured in the precious journal she wrote. After her sudden passing in 2019 after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, it became my most precious keepsake.
She shared memories from her life and our relationship, stories I would not have known about if she had not been brave enough to put pen to paper.
With these books, I want to make it easier for others (mothers, fathers and war veterans) to remember and to write their own stories. I believe it will be of as much value to others as it has been to me.
This project is deeply personal and carries profound connections to CANSA, palliative care, and the healing power of narrative therapy. Partnering with CANSA allows me to honour her memory while supporting others on their own journeys.”
