I try to be diligent and loving

The cold air stabs me in the face

I feel very ill

My son and daughter are worried

The cold is very brutal

I can feel the warm bricks under my feet

My husband is dead 

I can’t go on

Food doesn’t taste good anymore

I’m freezing cold

I give kostas’ wedding band to Jonas

Its all over now
