Edith was a fairly educated person who lead a very active life all her adult life.
She was not so active anymore. She was quiet a capable person who could do anything she put her mind to. Life got to a point where all she thought of was death. She finally broke away from that darkness and realised life was for living.

Edith was a very strong woman who due to some injury and a condition, found herself unable to do her day jobs. She was a very bright and fairly inteligent person. She has lived abroad for the best part of her life. She was married for the best part of her adult life. The a marriage was ok but it got to a point where she felt it was best that she found herself. And another way to earn money for herself rather than accept sitting at home with chronic pain and just wasting her life doing nothing but looking in the thin air, watching TV, or soaps, and listening to music or reading without a purpose. 

She was bored to death, so she had instincts and always felt that she had some greatness in her. She  felt there was something waiting for her out there. She needed to go and get it, find it, seek until she finds it. She did embark on that journey and it was one thing after the other. She felt so confused and frustrated. Nothing she did brought her the financial freedom she was looking for. She worked tiredlessly with pain in her body. Finally it got too much for her, she begun sinking into depression due to other things happening in her life to make it even harder for her to achieve her aim.

For almost two/three months she sunk into darkness, first she turned to God, and started studying the Bible. That seemed to work for  until she became ill. Just before then she had been contemplating suicide. Day after day she thought of nothing but how to die. How to end her painful life. She was fed up listening to the so called authorities tell her she was not disabled enough nor a registered disabled when she needed assistant with something. She was fed looking like a whole person outside yet for the amount of pain she lived with she would be better off if she had an amputated limb because the pain would then be just at the stomp. Rather than what she lived with. Pain in her whole body more or less.
