Man är en relativt ung trebarnsmamma som till sist ber om sitt eget liv inför läkarna och säger att det känns som om jag håller på att dö, att jag håller på att svälta ihjäl. Varpå ingen hjälper en.

Ich werde das Meer nie wieder hören. Dieser Satz, den ich einst von einem Betroffenen hörte, brannte sich in meinen Kopf ein und festigte die Hoffnungslosigkeit in mir, nie wieder gesund zu werden. Ich heiße dich herzlich willkommen und freue mich, dass du hier bist, um mich durch den einschneidendsten Teil meiner Lebensgeschichte zu begleiten.
