Ellen. Yesterday, on May 20, she turned 36. She’s not getting any older. She has a brain tumor and is out of treatment. She is not engaged in a battle, she says herself. She is undergoing the disease. She can’t help it. “If there is a struggle, it is mainly one against loneliness.” Her story is a farewell story and an appeal: “Go to sick people. Don’t avoid them. go.”
