Helen Ellis M.A. is a New Zealand researcher, writer, and anthropologist—and a veteran of Distance Grandparenting. Three of her four children and six of her seven grandchildren, aged 2-26 years, live 16 to 30 flight hours away in the United States, England, and Scotland. Her research asks a simple but profound question: “How is distance familying for you?” With over 20 years as a Distance Grandparent and more than 30 years as a Distance Parent, Helen has lived the challenges and joys of long-distance family life. Her first book, 'Being a Distance Grandparent', blends this personal experience with extensive global research. Available in paperback, eBook, and audio (narrated by Helen herself—sample included). Her second book, 'Being a Distance Son or Daughter', explores the perspective of the middle generation navigating life far from home. This edition is available in paperback and eBook. Passionate about giving Distance Families a voice, Helen aims to help each generation understand the experiences of the others. “With understanding comes empathy,” she explains, “and this can only help as we navigate the often-challenging social phenomenon of distance families.” The third and final book in her series, 'Being a Distance Grandchild – A Book for ALL Generations', is now available. Helen’s series offers a unique blend of research, personal insight, and practical guidance—a one-stop source of hope and reassurance for intergenerational families separated by geography.
