Arne and Robbe Wijnands, together with Arne's girlfriend Lieke, took over Witlox Wikkelgoed Uitvaarttextiel, the shroud company of their unexpectedly deceased mother. 'That continuation gives energy and feels like processing grief.'

Life's work

When Monique Rang unexpectedly passed away this spring, it was obvious that she would be wrapped in a shroud. For years, she ran the company Wikkelgoed from her home in Zutphen. It was her life's work. She designed, sewed and sold shrouds : cloths in which the dead are wrapped. In this way, she gave dozens of people a beautiful, loving farewell. According to her, it was more personal and contributed to the grieving process; that was how she had experienced it with her mother and grandmother.

And the article ends with beautiful words for Monique : “Sometimes it feels bad that she can no longer experience it, that we miss her so much. Knowing that this would have made her proud is nice. She could laugh out loud, so hard that people were surprised. She would have felt that joy now. If she had still been alive, we would certainly have heard her laugh.”
