Here is the final new version of The High Priestess! This piece feels much better than the one I did before. And there is more room to be creative with the frame and the text afterwards. What I really love about the High Priestess is that she is basically a mixture of Sailor Moon (as she is a moon goddess) and Sailor Mercury (because of the amount of wisdom and intuition. But also with her Element being water!)

So on with hy beloved husband's journey:

Sebastian had always been a real fighter - with extreme confidence he wanted to push through the next 15 sessions of tumor treatment, which would start in a few weeks. And as he refused to get a wheelchair, we could at least convince him to use crutches. Being extremely stubborn really didn't make things easier. And still it was so important to let him stay at home as long as humanly possible. However, after all this medicine, treatment and having to lay in bed all the time, this was not my husband anymore. Really, believe me when I say that he was much more like a zombie. He ate tons of fast food and sweets, not aware what he was doing. He completely ignored me and was seemingly unable to have only one single clear thought in his mind. I had to shower him, take him to the bathroom, help him get down the stairs and the only time he would move outside voluntarily was to get even more ice cream and other stuff to eat. It appeared to me that these endless cold winterdays would continue forever. I felt so lost, I missed my best friend, the dreams that we shared, the conversations, simply everything! And still, reading books about Stoicism and Buddhism provided some comfort. It is never the situation that causes the feeling, it's always your mental attitude! So you are still free to decide to be happy, to enjoy all the good things, as there will always be some form of pain in our lives. Well, that is true of course, but also kind of hard to apply under certain circumstances. Now, there was this one day in February, when things reached their peak. In the morning I had to cancel his MRT appointment as he was unable to get up and move. While I was browsing the net for other things I could do as I wanted him to keep his dignity for as long as possible I suddenly heard the most scary scream of my life.
