I think the real reason she was hanging by a thread was because 2 years ago before the virus started up, Petra was to be married in Italy. She will be 26 years old this next time around.
15 minutes before her father was to walk her down the aisle of the church, her man to be walked out of the church, got in his car and hauled ass. Leaving Petra and her father standing there in shock. Once again she felt rejected and stomped into the dirt.
I think that caused her to have only one thing left to cling to, and that was this board of people. When she thought she messed up in that too, the last thread broke inside her and she fell head-first into that deep dark hole of depression.
All of us at one time or another have been through it. All of us have had to dig deep down within ourselves to find a reason to continue on, after we fell into depression.
In Switzerland with female family members, and a farm full of animals and nature, Petra will be in a different world of support. Everything around her will accept her and build her up.
The ladies over there are always making quilts, and cheese, and chocolates, and the whole farm life will be a refreshing change of positive experiences and support.
She will walk outside and be able to feed the horses, and cows, and ducks, and the dogs and cats will be following her around everywhere she goes.
Look at Florida, and then look at Switzerland, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that those two places are worlds apart in scenery.
Ok, I better shut up now and make some breakfast.
