The big question of our age is: Why? Today – why? Someone has to be responsible, somebody to blame. It can't be us. We did everything possible. We were always careful. None of my ancestors was ever harmed by an avalanche or by snow. We were often outside when the weather was bad. Especially if help was needed somewhere, when there were alpine accidents and such. But the question "Why?" the question of who is accountable, will never be answered. You can only answer it for yourself. Everybody's fate is different; we all have to deal with our lot. Everyone is different. But if you look at it the way my young granddaughter said: "There, where they are now the sun is always shining", you can expect it to be true. If a child says something like that, it can only be true. You're not really separated. Through inner dialogue it is still possible to communicate and to be with people who have died.
