column WILLEM Pekelder VPRO’s’ Summer guests’ Sunday showed an excerpt from “The English surgeon ‘, which we neurologist Henry Marsh at work saw in Ukraine. Probably as a result of Chernobyl there are lots of brain tumors in young children. “Sometimes I operate only to offer hope, because that is the most important thing,” said Marsh. Summer Guest Freek de Jonge ditch them when he talked about his deceased granddaughter. “She is also often operated just to keep up hope. Alive”

• I do not know any of the victims personally, but I feel like I know everyone

With these words, looked in mind I go to the commemoration of the disaster in Ukraine. Was the day of national mourning except sad and poignant too hopeful? Hope is a strange, irrational thing. The pain is not gone, but you can just move on. Hope is the ineffable, something that does not fall to put into words. And yet we try.

In ‘Dutch business’ (Max) mused sorts of well-meaning people mourning and consolation. The one thought that you had to give up all the space, anger, the other does not. Was just thinking of Ada, a woman who in 2008 lost her entire family in a climbing party in Italy, sighed: “Do not come with advices Did not the arrogance that you know, because nobody knows.”.

Self them after the drama was firmly held by her sister, and she felt a moment consoled. Airport Pastor Hordijk Wina said: “. Offering a glass of water, and a handkerchief, but listen, listen, listen.” Look, it is hope, I thought

Survivors offscreen
The public broadcaster dropped Wednesday from its best side:. No entertainment, no games and no advertising . In the ‘Journal’ gave a moody black-clad Annechien Steenhuizen commented on the arrival of the forty chests. The NIS had deliberately chosen to keep. Thousand survivors out of the picture Reporter Kees van Dam said that had come into the storage space of the aircraft. Many of them after unloading the crates together In Hilversum, where the hearses went, a man said: “I do not know any of the victims personally, but I feel like I know everyone.” That was hopeful, I thought.

The Christian broadcasters sins live in an ecumenical service (“Connected in sorrow”) from the St. George Church in Amersfoort. Survivors lit candles, while the choir sang “If everything is dark, then light a beacon fire that never goes out.” The unifying feature television in those days must have entered this service in their own way to express. With meticulously selected texts which might have. Both believers and unbelievers something The old Our Father besides the touching “When the end comes, and if I’m afraid, can I have you?” Claudia Breij. The ‘Still I Cry’ Voice winner Iris Kroes, after the “Kyrie” from the Mass in G major by Franz Schubert.

The magnificent ‘In Paradisum’ from Fauré’s Requiem did all the words fading. The French composer makes the ineffable feeling and tangible and brings a lot going on, no rationality is grafted. By Fauré’s gentle, understated requiem is not going away, the sadness, but we can just move on. I hope.
