Living with your child.

Not without. Never without.


You are a mother. Even without your child at home.

After a miscarriage. After a stillbirth.

You don't have to let go to live again.`

Maybe you recognise this.

You are a mother.
Even if the world has moved on.

They say: move forward. But you don't want to move forward without your child.
You laugh sometimes. And feel guilty straight after. You cry. And feel like a burden.
You've been carrying this for a long time. Often alone.
Often in silence. That's exactly where I was.
After Jasmijn. After Tom. After Tim.

Living with your child. Not without.

About Desirée

I know what you carry.

I lost three children. Jasmijn, Tom, and Tim.

Not as a therapist. Not as a researcher. As their mother.

That is why I know: you don't have to let go to live again. Your child can be with you every day. As love. As strength. As quiet presence.

That is what I help you find.
