Patrice Aminati observes that the comments give rise to discussions. A public discourse from which people who find themselves in similar life situations or who have gone through difficult paths could also benefit.
Clear answer to speculation
Patrice Aminati is particularly clear about a recurring question. Her former partner also asked her if she had a new man. She formulates her answer clearly and with irony:
Do you mean my attending doctor, who I have to see almost every day?
There are currently many construction sites in her life, she writes. Two of them are her body and her health.
In her story she also shares a video in which you can clearly see her hair loss – with the addition: “That was one of the least side effects.”
Patrice Aminati is very open about her illness and also sees her social media account as an exchange platform for those affected.
Between everyday life and disappointment
Patrice Aminati responds personally to appreciative comments. She writes that she is doing well and that she feels a little more at home with herself every day. She and her daughter have created a new home over the past few months. For her at the moment, everyday life and normality are something that she consciously enjoys and celebrates.
She also read disappointed comments, writes Patrice Aminati. You understand these reactions. She herself is sad that something that began with hope for “eternity” has failed. She loved very much and believed that love could build bridges. Yes, in her words: Love can do many things – but not everything.
