"Rote Rosen" actress Maike Bollow (56) has to deal with a hard blow: her mother died at the beginning of the year and she only found out about her death months later – through an official letter. "My mother died five months ago and I knew nothing about it," says the actress to "Bild".
18 years of radio silence
For 18 years, the actress had had no contact with her mother, who remarried after marrying Maike Bollow's father. "We had a disagreement at the time. From my point of view, that was a minor matter, maybe not for my mother," says Bollow. The broke contact with the daughter. Until then, they would have had a good relationship with each other.
She couldn't say goodbye
The worst thing for the actress is that she didn't find out what her mother died from: "My love for her was deeply rooted, always there. I even spoke to her in spirit," says Bollow. "But I don't know how she died." To say goodbye, she now wants to bury a photo of the mother in the forest.
