We're living in The Netherlands, a little
country that can be found this way: point your
finger at the middle of England, go to the right,
cross the water, and there it is, before
Germany. We live in the town of my birth, in a
house that feels to be too little. We're all
fond of ballet. Lars even went to the
balletacademy for over 5 years. The girls enjoy
their balletlessons. I myself have danced a lot
in the past and restarted when I was 42. Four
years ago I had to stop because of health
problems. I had been able to manage asthma, anemia
and hyperhomocystenemia quite well, even during
pregnancies, but diabetes and hemochromatosis were
too much. After diabetes was diagnosed I started
to "grow", and now I feel like I'm in the wrong
body. I still feel the thin balletdancer!
LOL! I'm a clinical psychologist and for many
years I have been working with parents of deceased
babies, parents with high risk pregnancies and
those who work with these parents professionally.
I'm the first birth-counseller, and I'm gratefull
that the importance of this work is accepted now
and spreading. I'm writing: work, but I've
never asked money for it, because it's my opinion
that grief councelling should be available to
everybody, and not only to those who can pay the
bills. Which means that we have to turn each
coin, each month. I'm in the middle of starting
an advice practice for parents of children and
adolescents who might have ADHD, PDD-NOS, or
autism. I have a lot of hobbies, and internet
is one of them. Through internet I have met some
wonderful friends, and I can't do without them. I
hope to be able to meet them... someday...
somewhere....
