Dag was born 14th September 1949 in Stockholm and died 16th May 2007 in Cologne.
His funeral took place in Cologne on Friday 25th May. Indian music played softly in the background. Between 1.00pm -2.00 people were able to communicate personally with Daggis, who lay in an open coffin, surrounded by many beautiful floral tributes. Karen and Vahur (who came to our International Psychodrama Conference in Melbourne, March 2006) brought a floral tribute from Estonia and laid a little wooden train engine with the flowers to symbolise “the lost locomotive”.

Dag was very gifted and imaginative and this was illustrated in his writing. For example, in our library, ‘Dramatis Personae and Acting Out in Psychodrama’ and ‘Some Remarks about Medical Shadow in Training in Psychotherapy and Psychodrama.’
I wrote this poem for my friend, Dag, which will be read at a memorial service for him in Elaine Sachnoff’s garden 30 June 2007.
Through the gauzy white veil
You appeared
Looking gently
Connected in time
and space yet
from another era
Unearthly yet
knowing of the earth
an angel most ethereal
Here for a time
to touch without
leaving any mark
all with eyes to
see you
A pure spirit
of the first order
A gentle soul
A feeling heart
that imbued an
imaginative mind
as deep as the sea
There you are
And now you are
gone in the mist of
ages.
Daggis.
