In Pursuit of Meaning - Asma ELFERKOUSS
Part I
Situation
I'm all at sea, I cannot take it anymore ...
I have decided to end my life ...
In any case, no one will know anything ...
I can no longer fake living... as I see the hours and days pass before my eyes ...
How shall I do it?
By taking medication or by hanging myself ....
No idea ...
However, I do know that I'm living the last minutes of my existence ...

Since the accident, I find myself bedridden ... paralyzed

I got used to seeing people paying me visits, providing me with care ....
I can hear them, but I can’t respond ...
And however, ... I tried...
I feel bad for their sadness, their distress...
I can’t see them suffering... for me
I want to shout loud and clear
... but, it’s impossible... no sound can come out of my
