Katja Lewina

In the organizer's words:

It's always the others who die. The old, the sick. But what if death is closer than you think? Katja Lewina has known for two years about her heart condition, which could cost her her life at any time. She was diagnosed shortly after the sudden death of her seven-year-old son. All of a sudden, the possibility of dying became part of her everyday life.

In 'Was ist schon für immer', Katja Lewina deals with the subject of mortality and loss. Based on her own situation, she explores an experience that affects us all. What does our finiteness do to love? How do we explain this to our children? What do we want to leave behind? What do we get out of our lives? Katja Lewina addresses these questions in eleven essays without the usual carpe diem platitudes, but with plenty of no-bullshit sauce. And the unpleasant reminder: dying concerns us all.
