Children that didn’t come
Illustrations accompanying a prepublication in AD Magazine of Marjolijn de Cocq’s book.
‘I did already love you’, writes Marjolijn de Cocq, journalist, in what was supposed to be a baby journal. The journal never came to be, in its place is now a ‘book of dead children’, for De Cocq had four miscarriages. Speaking of it was and is difficult, but the author hopes to break the silence on this subject with her intimate writings.
