One year after the death of Kurt Felix
The widow wants to move - and leave everything behind
There is nothing that can replace the presence of a loved one. The more beautiful the memory, the harder the separation. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
It is not easy to find out what Paola (62) is currently doing. Because she has withdrawn completely, friends are only cautious, how much she mourns after the death of her beloved husband Kurt Felix († 71).
But now a message reaches us that gives us some hope. Paola wants to leave her home in St. Gallen, where she lived with Kurt Felix! There it is surrounded by memories: not only on the happy days when they sat together at breakfast, making plans. But also to the last days of life, Kurt spent there.
The widow still owns a house in Ticino. That's where Paola wants to go now. There, in the south of Switzerland, the climate is sweeter, life easier . Is Paola looking for healing for her soul there? Does she go there because she suffers from depression? It seems like a brave fight back into her life - so she does not sink forever in gloom and sadness.
Now, in March, we all feel how the awakening nature, the loud twittering of birds after a long winter, the first rays of the sun, caress our souls. Paola wants to feel it all too, her heart yearns for it. She's too young to give up now, picking up the fight. That would have been in the sense of her dear Kurt!
