Most of us can’t imagine having the time we spend with our children cut short, but this is the reality being faced by mother of two Lisa Wells, who was diagnosed with terminal bowel and liver cancer in December 2017 at the age of 32.

Books in the series: 

• Only One of Me: A love letter from Mum
  
• Only One of Me: A love letter from Dad
• Does Ond Un Fel Fi: Llythyr caru oddi wrth Dad
• Does Ond Un Fel Fi: Llythyr caru oddi wrth Mam

The Only One of Me project grew from Lisa’s determination to leave a lasting legacy for her daughters and her desire to help other families rally against the difficulties of loss. Her activities have raised thousands for charity and huge public support through JustGiving has enabled the publication of these beautiful books. Sadly Lisa passed away in August 2019.

Charities

All author and illustrator royalties will be donated to the charities Mummy’s Star, which supports women and their families affected by cancer during pregnancy, and We Hear You (WHY), which provides free professional counselling to anyone affected or bereaved by cancer or other life threatening conditions.

Only One of Meis the product of Lisa’s lifelong love of writing and friendship with award-winning children’s authorMichelle Robinson. The two collaborated on this tender and moving rhyming poem, with charming illustrations byCatalina Echeverri, which is both a love letter to Lisa’s own daughters and a testament to the unwavering strength of parental love, a timeless message for families facing the challenges of bereavement.
