About life events and resilience | Angela Vos | TEDxNSPOH


[Music]
I am angela false start work in
gelderland middle
and I’m going along with my team
there are also all here today
responsible for health
monitoring ‘
in that region and I am the widow of
randy
rally died in November 2014 at the
consequences of esophageal cancer
and I can tell you very honestly
if you are going to hold such a pitch in July
give up an idea in March
then in November a story as
this has to tell
That’s quite a thing, but we’re going to do it anyway
to do
he died in November 2014 he left
me behind and our daughter you the then
eleven years old he had a short sickbed and
actually I was almost out of one
other day
a single mother from my
work in health monitoring ‘and
many of you will undoubtedly
recognize
we know that it is with children who
grow up in an old families about it
generally less good than
children who grow up in two old ones
families we see that these children are more often
what less healthy there are less
hear being bullied more often
that has always affected me
I think it affects us all
otherwise you would now work in the public
health but then I almost of the
one on the other day single
mother touched me even more
and if you are in that
research results will dig and
especially when you are talking to people who
being a single parent or better
still that have been raised by one
you are actually single parent
that it always comes back to one
thing the resilience of the remaining
old
when I became a widow, I got promotion
made at my work
the foundation raised money raised
concerts organized
I started singing in three legs
I have crossed the whole of Europe
the later that was perhaps also one
a bit exaggerated but well I did that
and above all that I am there for my
daughter she is now 15 and with her
is it going well
they sit and 4 vwo has a lot
friends and girlfriends have it to
the sentence at school and one day he had to
fill in the questionnaire for it
youth health care contact moment
my second year
and she looked at me and they are mom
so really crazy they ask
namely whether something bad happened
I still suffer from and
Daddy is dead that is of course very bad
but I do not suffer from it
Is that weird so he is the no that is
exactly what you hope for
I have how crazy that also sounds good luck
had
you too we have a great family
around us many friends I have
fine work
nice colleagues and highly educated you have
just can hear here at the and sp holds
good job I am not in the financial
problems hit after brake that was
passed away
I do not beat myself on the chest for that
I was lucky
I am no better strong or strong than
other people like me
I’ve been lucky to come every day
about six people
like me people whose partner
dies and who stay behind with
minor children people who
responsible for those children
healthy and happy growing up
being able to be what they want
without the impact the impact of that
huge dramatic event always
to carry with them
that sadness remains that sadness belongs
even that impact you can
reduce and it then runs again and again
for a thing that everyone needs one
has
resilience or the ability to cope
with the physical social and mental
challenges that life all of us
we know the definition I think
all the ability to our children
to educate them that they are healthy and
To be happy
because we can deal with all that
challenges that life puts us
potential that you have as a person and also
the ability to realize the potential
to bet with that
not everyone has that
happy are the many initiatives
which can provide support and
he very low threshold
think, for example, of contact with fellow patients
I formerly always will but I
can tell you
it works it is very nice when you
recognition and recognition and so on
the much more
low-threshold often free initiatives
But how do you get it from people
who need it
who can use it that is so
important because how do people know that
the initiatives are at the moment
that one who got sick I was in the
city ​​council in the municipality of rheden
I stopped that, but I did
contact my fellow council members and
one day I was on average by one
of them was about 8 weeks after the tram
who had died
he e-mailed me and the purport of his
mail I did not want to impose on me
and I do not want anything at all
interfere because I think you are fine yourself
but I can imagine that there
a lot of money also comes to you financially
and I am a financial advisor
and again I do not want to impose myself
but if you like it
I look very happy with you I have
made use of his offer and he
sat opposite me at the table looked at me
about his glasses and you said it
very well arranged
you do not have to worry about this
to make
I slept well that night and that is very
good for your resilience
but it also gave me an idea
because municipalities are natural
responsible for the care and
support to people especially
children and young people and those who want to
of course with his all so early
try to adjust in
grab so that there are no problems on the
long-term
arise but municipality also know when
the person dies
municipalities give the
death certificate so how beautiful it would be
are like a municipality a number of weeks
after death
contacting not to interfere but
to say hey I see you
and know that I am there when you need me
have from my work
support and I recommend municipality to
the local
health policy
and of course this is something I already have
a number of tests with aldermen
and officials have discussed and actually
how you always return the same
that is also a very good idea
but it is also very difficult because you are coming
in the private sphere for people you want
do not force
What I also heard back is from
yes but how can we do that huge
live event
how can we now the consequences of
limit
what I just said already can not do that
sadness , there is only that impact
impact you can indeed limit
you really have a part in it and I understand
that it goes against the prevailing
zeitgeist perhaps in which we
say if you have any help or questions
if you want help you need a question
you must have a question
you have to be able to give in to
which areas
you need that help I have one this
situation and I can
tell if something like this happens to you
you have no question you do not know at all
what happens to you and then it is very nice
if someone tells you about dude
I will take a look at you or a
you walk along with me in zwolle and me
have understood that the even a live
stream is with zwolle but in zwolle is
have already experimented with a project
if this
and now it is the pilot phase from and
it is also executed structurally
by the welfare institution that project
went a bit further than the idea that I
because people immediately became people there
people linked together
indicate I would like to be a coach someone
who walks with me I advocate
much more accessible I argue for it
that we let people know one
lose partner and that
stay behind with minor children
who have to feed that way
that we let them know we see you and we
are there
and we do not want to impose ourselves but as
you want it
I like to walk with you a bit
and I am convinced that this is
help to make even more children big
get and that children can leave
to become
what they are and who they are despite what
she happened
thank you
[Applause]
