Thank you for all your kind words, prayers and sympathy following my blogpost of January 6th.
The great emptiness and the loss remain, but every word and gesture I’ve received in recent weeks are comforting and give me a little strength to cope with the unreal reality.

The month of December was the worst I ever had to live through with all the Holiday celebrations. Right after New Year’s Eve, Winter came with lots of cold, ice, snow and dark days. I spent most of the time staying at home, me myself and I. The weather has changed for the better now, sometimes the sun is even peaking through the clouds.
I have some very dear familymembers and friends checking in on me regularly and helping me out. Just after Christmas, I fell outside, flat on my face. It was damaged, my glasses were out of shape and damaged, I injured my knees and my hands, but everything is fine now. Yesterday, I bought a new pair of glasses. For the first time I couldn’t rely on the excellent judgement of my husband. There already have been so many first times on my own and there will be many many more.
