How do you go on when nothing will ever be the same again? Fourteen people answer that question in "De draad weer oppakken" ("Picking up the tread"). Their harrowing and inspiring stories form an inspriring example of resilience. Like the story of Dennis, who lost both his wife and newborn child on the day of delivery. The story of Wilco, who was imprisoned for years for a crime he did not commit. And Willie, who was one of the victims of the new year's bar fire in Volendam. All people who have picked up the threads of their lives after a shocking event.
Next to these presonal stories, experts are also given the floor in this book. They give advice on how to go on after a shocking event or painful loss. Even if your life is suddenly upended, there is almost always a way back up, albeit a long and curvy road. This makes "De draad weer oppakken" a hopeful book.
