These two people were two young parents: Wim Janssens (37 years old) and Joyce Van Roosbroeck (36 years old). The couple sat side by side in the back of a Porsche Panamera returning from a friend’s wedding. The couple was returning to sleep with friends, who were also present in the car. But around 3:30 a.m., regarding a hundred meters from the house, the accident occurred.

Behind them, the thirty-year-olds left two little girls aged 6 and 9. Since this tragedy, the two young children have moved in with their grandparents, Frans Janssens (69 years old) and Christiane Verhoeven (70 years old). Their lives have completely changed since that cursed weekend.

“Before, we had time to do the things we wanted, but now all that time goes to our grandchildren,” they confide to Latest news. Frans and Christiane directly took in their granddaughters to take care of their education but confess their difficulties. “It’s not easy to suddenly have to go from being a grandparent to being a parent. To become stricter when necessary while we were constantly pampering them. » Fortunately, as the couple explains, many people support them in this new life.

“A daily struggle”

Important support for Frans and Christiane “because believe me, it is also a daily fight for us not to collapse”. If they don’t talk regarding the accident, they regularly talk regarding Wim and Joyce. “Every day we still talk to them regarding their mom and dad. Joyce and Wim must never be forgotten. Children need to know what they did in the past, what their approach to life was and, most importantly, how they saw the future. »

If grandparents do their best, they confess that the balance is fragile. Painful and difficult moments remind them of reality. A reality of which their son and daughter-in-law are no longer a part.
