A Mother at War: Interview with author Ragnhild Munck

The German Occupation Army that took over her childhood home couldn’t do it.

Neither could the Danish spies that moved in.

The Nazi’s couldn’t do it.

The troubled families she counseled professionally for years couldn’t do it.

Neither could a failed marriage.

Nothing could dampen the hardy spirit that gives life to Ragnhild (“rhymes with downhill”) Munck. Her courage and confidence only strengthened with each life experience. She may have been low for a while, but always rose like the Phoenix back to life, stronger than before.

But when her daughter, Maria, was diagnosed with breast cancer in her 30s, Ragnhild wasn’t sure she herself would survive.

Many people have questions about death, dying, grief, sadness, depression. It's not something we speak of openly in our culture. The Bereavement Page is a safe place to ask anonymously. Not only will you get an answer personally if you click on "Contact Editor", but a full length feature article may be written so we can all learn.
