MARY REDMAYNE’s life has revolved around children and their welfare, both at home with her four sons, and in her work. She ran her own photography business in the 90s after receiving photography tuition from Ron Woolf. Later, she attended university as a mature student. Mary’s research, and previous publications, have been about young people’s use of electronic devices. They have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. In 2018, her life took a terrible turn with the sudden tragic death of a beloved grandson. Grief was acute. Coming to terms with her grandson’s personal loss, her own loss and that of his parents was hard work. Thankfully, she strongly felt God’s support. Mary now enjoys the freedom of semi-retirement, working from home in Wellington, along with the continued joy of time spent with her grandchildren, and learning to paint and to play the cello. A note from Mary: “Grief is very personal. I do not assume to know your grief, but hope the guidance I felt given will open ways for you to find courage, comfort, and a path forward. It can feel lonely, but you are not alone.”
