Marjolein Hartman (b. 1974) is a writer, entrepreneur, and public speaker from Amsterdam. After losing her 22-year-old son Max in a tragic surfing accident, she began writing as a way to survive. Her raw and honest reflections on grief have since made her a widely recognized voice on parental bereavement in the Netherlands.
