BEVER DISTRICT – In just two days he lost a child and became a widower. The Beverwijker Roy Hollander had to watch helplessly at the beginning of this month as his wife Silvana died in the Red Cross Hospital while she was giving birth to their son Max. Shortly before that, the couple had been told by an obstetrician that the boy would be born dead. Although he has barely recovered from the initial shock, Roy wants to tell his story.
