What would you do if your life changed in an instant?
I never thought I would ever share a single word on the internet. BUT… I’ve learned so much from what happened to me, and I share it now because maybe others, too, will find ideas or answers here when life brings them to their lowest point.
Change does not happen overnight, though. It takes a lot of patience and time.
Light always finds its way – a new beginning.
Right now, I’m busier than ever — though you might not believe it — yet I spend my time only on things I truly enjoy.
Briefly, what happened to me
All my life, I tried to help others as a family doctor. And then… In a single moment, everything changed.
One moment can change
everything.
I ended up in the hospital with a heart attack. During the weeks of treatment, I realized I could never continue my work the same way as before.
The big question was: what should I do? I was not old enough for retirement — I had to wait another year. Hard decisions followed. In the end, I managed to keep my practice running with temporary substitutes, until one of my them moved abroad. Then I had to return to work myself, at least part-time.
I found it increasingly difficult to cope. Burnout took over me more and more each day; constant exhaustion drained me. I knew it was becoming too much to handle.
To make things even harder, after a long illness my husband passed away. That was when I truly wanted to hide away from the whole world — from everything and everyone.
So, I moved to our country house. I’ve been living here alone for almost two years now — but never lonely.
A door can be
a new chance.
Now the time has come to reconnect with people again.
On this site, I share all I have learned about healing, courage, and starting over. If even one sentence gives you strength too, then it’s all been worth it.
Opening up to the world again
Feel free to look around! You’ll find stories, music, experiences, ideas — and perhaps a little piece of me too: a doctor who now heals herself. And I will be happy if that can help someone else too.
Netflix Chatroom is one of those fascinating Vig-Village sessions I haven’t attended — at least not yet. Since I don’t have a Netflix subscription, I’ve never joined, but I’ve always been curious about it.
The group meets every Thursday from 8:00 to 9:00 PM (CET). The native speaker is Jessica.
Participants watch a selected Netflix episode in advance, then discuss it together. One example I saw listed was: “Somebody Feed Phil” – Season 7, Episode 1: Mumbai In this show, Phil travels the world and explores local food, customs, and culture with a lighthearted, humorous tone.
From what I’ve heard, the next series will be about National Parks.
Maybe one day, when I finally get Netflix, I’ll join in too. Until then, I enjoy just knowing that such colorful ways of learning exist.
Would you like to see the other chat rooms? Or are you only interested in the game Night Chatroom chat room?
