I comfort my girlfriend Rikke, as she cries at my grandmothers funeral. My dad, Steen, sits in the back. It was only during the last twelve months that I introduced Rikke to my grandmother. They became very fond of each other, and I became very happy, they got the chance to know each other, before it was too late. My grandma was found with a stroke in her bed, and died five days later at the hospital. I decided to photograph the days as they went by, to make a story about my her, to show my kids in the future. One thing is to take pictures of strangers, but this was a totally different thing. It's the hardest thing I have ever photographed.
