Bo hears the personal stories and asks the right questions. Serious, sometimes light-hearted. His father also tells. “I think it is very brave that he is here. That he dares to be open. And I am also happy that he can hear the stories of others,” says Bo.
Pride and acceptance
Erik is especially proud. Because his son, at a young age, is very motivated to turn negative things into positivity: helping people who are facing uncertain times.
“I’m doing well, mainly because of the medication. I still work as a car mechanic for five days. Some jobs that require fine motor skills I have to leave to someone else,” says Erik.
Bo now knows how to deal with his father’s health well. Through his graduation research and these meetings. “I’m calmer about it. I used to be shocked by every detail. Now I can accept it better.”
The sad lady leaves the meeting relieved after two hours. She can handle it again for a while. She will definitely be back next Saturday.
