Katelijne Beukema - Swomp

Swomp is a swamp. It is full of drops that have made buckets overflow, deep valleys and sharp edges. It is deafeningly quiet, because language has been lost. But if you sink deep enough, you can also laugh. Because there is a clown. In Swomp, Katelijne Beukema investigates how we communicate about mourning. We now know that Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's 5 stages of mourning are outdated, but how does mourning work then? Too often it is still like this: hiding that sadness and quickly being 'the old one' again. It should especially not take up too much space in daily life.
