Blonde haired,blue eyed Nordic beauty. A nurse by profession,but got fed up and came half way around the world to take care of street dogs,which she did for over two decades,  ,absolutely dedicated to her cause,but latterly started feeling unwell.  I feel as though she realised what was happening,as she took little care of herself and started smoking heavily...took herself for diagnosis ,stage 4 pancreatic cancer confirmed

 

 Took herself to her dingy condo,surrounded by bags of rice etc.for what would be eventual cooking for her beloved dogs, lay down on her small sofa,denied everything to sustain life for the best part of a week. The girl would have achieved what she set out to do,if intervention had not occurred,but died two days later in a local hospital.  There are no benefits into becoming a recluse karen  Only one person stood at her cremation,her ashes,half going to Denmark

   So long Karen,so long girl   x  Rest in Peace

Jeez, talk about a depressing report...

 

Once the health goes, all other problems fade to the background...

 

There is no shame in not having a group of people wailing at your funeral...???? 

Seems Karen had a heart of gold and the fortitude to carry through with what she believed in. No shame at all in doing that.

Lack of recognition for the good she did is the shame. And that's on others who made her acquaintance and opined with lesser hearts. 

Sadly just another sad tale of what goes on in the world.
