My Mother, My Inspiration
[Budel, 26-12-2011] As most of you already will know my wise, understanding and compassionate mother has been all my life a great inspiration to me. I realize that parts of her wisdom of bringing up children in the way she did, I used many times at my presentations, during my therapies and in my daily work. Many times her visions turned out to be basic information in my Marte Meo work and my social behaviour in the Marte Meo International Network.
The night of the first Christmas Day my mother died, 96, one day after her birthday. She was surrounded by all her 13 children, remembering simultaneously brother Paul who passed away a year before.
It has been a very intensive experience for all of us, carrying this remembrance with us all day. We, brothers and sisters, are proud of managing in such a wonderful cooperation to help our Mother and having let her die in her own house, surrounded by this warm atmosphere of her dear ones.
Now we have to live on, remembering this beautiful person, being an inspirational factor in so many ways to our Marte Meo attitude.
