When You’re Left Alone With Your Children with MARIEKE BLEYENBERGH

What happens when you suddenly have to be both mother and father?

In this emotional episode of Feminine Flames, Marieke opens up about raising her children alone after losing her husband to cancer at just 35 years old.

She shares the invisible weight of making every decision by herself — from parenting and discipline to moving countries and rebuilding a home for her children after loss.

Her kids even gave her a new name: “Mapa” — a mix between mama and papa — because she had to become both.

But beyond the practical side of grief, she also speaks about something deeply human: the struggle to actually feel the pain when survival mode takes over.

One of the most moving parts of this conversation is the story of a private song her younger brother created after witnessing her husband in the hospital. A song about pain, love, helplessness, and the heartbreaking reality of watching someone slowly disappear.

A raw conversation about grief, motherhood, emotional survival, family support, and the difficult balance between staying strong and allowing yourself to break.

This is not only a story about loss.
It’s about learning how to carry love, pain, memories, and responsibility all at the same time.
