In the episodes when the heart problems are very bad, it is as if she has iron clamps around her chest, as if she is squashed, simultaneously with the feeling that her throat will be constricted, a few steps and she gets no more air. „Everywhere it oppresses me along, it begins in the stomach, then I can not carry anything and have to drop it, it is not possible anymore, is it like lead so heavy”. Her complains got worse, when she had to go by car somewhere, where she was not familiar with that area. Also, earlier in her work as a seamstress, she tailored historical garments for a theatre, everything always had to be ready on time. She liked it but felt rushed. She also wanted to be back home to prepare on time her husband's dinner, the food was so important for him. At these occasions she got palpitations and was shaky. After an operation in her lower abdomen she dreamt that coffins come to her, one was beautifully glittered.
She grew up with her grandparents, her father whom she has never met, died in the second world war, three months before she was born. Her mother was always working abroad and has never been there for her. She was visited from her once in a year, she was rather an aunt for her. Her mother never mentioned her father. She feels sad that she has never met her father, when she talks about it she is close to weeping. Her mother has told her, if in this time, she would have had the contraceptive pill, “you would not be here”. A comment from her grandmother was: “...and I had to bring you up” She is convinced that her father has begotten her intentionally. And her nice father would have protected her. The brother of her father and his wife have searched later after her and found her, that was a redemption. She feels real happiness to have met her relatives. The grandfather and uncle always drunk a lot and with her grandparents she grew up in very simple conditions.
