“Nobody says ‘mama’ to me anymore”: Josiane lost two children

“I should have been a mother four times,” says Josiane Van de Velde (66) from Zwalm. She had two miscarriages, lost her son Tom after he lived for twelve hours and his twin sister Kathelijn when she was 34 years old. Josiane has no more children. “I want to talk about my children, they have existed. But people don’t handle that well.”
