Mother of Jasmijn, Tom and Tim. Author. Guide for mothers who carry their child with them.
Living with your child
Not without. Never without.
Hello, I'm Desirée
You don't have to let go of your child to live your life.
You don't have to let go of your child to live your life.
You carry your child with you. In the quiet. In the laughter that surprises you. In the ache that arrives without warning.
That is not weakness. That is love.
I lost three children. Jasmijn through miscarriage. Tom and Tim through stillbirth.
I didn't find my way back by moving on. I found it by learning to carry them differently. As love. As presence. As strength.
That is what becomes possible. For you too.
A moment with your child
A free guided audio. Just for you.
A moment with your child. Close your eyes. Breathe. Your child is already with you.
Mental Health Concerns
You are in the middle of it. Everything is raw. This audio gives you one quiet moment with your child.
For loss further back
The world moved on. You didn't forget. This is a space where your child is still real, still present, still yours.
For pregnancy after loss
You are carrying new life while still carrying your grief. You don't have to choose. Both can exist.

In their own words
Women who found their way
"The focus shifted to what Sanne brought me, instead of what I had lost. After every session, I felt lighter. She felt closer." Karin, mother of stillborn Sanne (2023)
"Desirée knows from her own experience. She doesn't need explanations. That genuine understanding, you can feel it. It is completely different." Geertje, mother after nine miscarriages
"I saw a story I deeply recognised. Someone who stands strong in life. I thought: that is where I want to go." Thuy, mother of stillborn David (2024)

Your child is always with you. The question is only: how do you carry them?
