The Story Behind The Book.

Many years ago, after taking care of my beautiful grandmother, I thought to myself, if only I still had all the memories and stories shared. At the same time, I wondered, how much more was there she had to tell? Since, it has really bothered me.

That's how MyLifeInShort came to being. A safe haven for families. A way to share stories, write letters, make an impact while you alive but also leave to read for the generations later.

I wanted the book to be deep and wide, bringing in questions from angles that bring perspective, deep thought and raw and uncut writing which may show sides of you that have never been discovered by those closest to you.

Everyone has a unique story to tell. This is how you can do it.

The ability to write your own stories your way. For whoever your heart desires.

As a new father, I am extremely passionate about the brand and hope this will bring a lot of comfort, happiness and positivity to families all over South Africa and Worldwide!

Common Questions

What if you don't know what to write?

Every page has a clear, specific question. There is never a blank page staring back at you. You simply answer, in your own words, at your own pace.

How long does it take to fill in?

There's no deadline. Most people fill it in slowly, over weeks or months. Write a few pages at a time or whenever a memory comes to you.

Is this only for older parents or grandparents?

It's built with adults in mind, but anyone with a story can use it, including you. The answers will differ person to person.

How long does delivery take?

It takes 5-8 business days, anywhere in South Africa. This also depends on stock availability on hand. However, we always strive to send them out as fast as possble.
