After Marika

Marika, Jirka and their two boys were a beautiful family. Then Marika found a lump in her breast. Jirka’s narrative and Marika’s authentic diary entries make up a story that could happen to any of us. What is it like to hear a fatal diagnosis? How do you fight it when treatment isn’t working? Where do you find the strength when you feel helpless? How do you help when there’s no way to help? How do you tell your sons that Mum is no longer here? Despite all the sadness, there is still hope: “Because in the morning I’ll get up again and make pancakes.”
