Julie Saeger Nierenberg is a writer, editor, educator and artist. Inspired by the journey of love, sorrow, grief and release through her father's transition, she wrote about her family's shared experience in the book "Daddy, this is it. Being-with My Dying Dad." Believing that the dying and bereaved among us deserve a fulfilling death, Julie hopes to contribute to the shift in our cultural preparation for and processing of the inevitable finale to life. In the last few years of his life, Julie's father, Armin Saeger Jr., published a book of memoirs, entitled Sowing My Quaker Oats. This was a labor of love and a major accomplishment for a man with very diminished eyesight and a diagnosis of metastatic cancer. Julie illustrated Armin's book and enjoyed assisting him to draft and shape its narrative. She now coaches other authors to leave a written legacy of love and personal history for their own families. Look for more of Julie's family-centered books coming soon. See less
