Bracelets for 25,000,- for Children, Youth & Grief

The bracelet from WIOGA is inspired by Marlene's own life. Marlene lost her husband and received help from Children, Youth & Grief for her children. She is therefore very happy that so many have wanted to support her collection.

– After I became a widow 3 years ago and was left alone with my two small children, I fell into depression and became afraid of having to be left alone with all the responsibility. I was shaking and felt really bad that I couldn't handle my children's grief. It was a difficult and hard struggle to get through everyday life and I felt terribly lonely the whole process.

Luckily, my son Willads got a place at Børn, Unge & Sorg. They helped my son deal with his grief, but they also supported me in my grieving process, which gave me the extra push forward that I so desperately needed.

My son was 5 years old when he lost his father and was in great grief and I had a hard time dealing with his grief. After waiting for half a year, he got a place with a psychologist. It was a great help for both of us, he thinks it was nice that he could open up to someone other than me. To this day, we have learned to live with the grief, we think back on him with good memories but we have learned to be a family of three.
