In these months, Anne was especially concerned with herself, with her attitude towards the others and towards her mother in particular. Then later on I shall be all the stronger. From whom but myself shall I get comfort. That is not to say that Anne was exclusively and continuously concerned with herself. She made a choice for herself, for independence from others, but for precisely this reason she takes the outside world seriously.
Nobody is spared, each and all join in the march of death.
Still, I can't refrain from telling you that lately I have begun to feel deserted. I am surrounded by too great a void. At any rate, she was concerned with what was happening to others, and in her thoughts about this she felt lonely. It was no doubt not always easy for the others to live with Anne. There were painful moments when she let her temper go and told the others exactly what she thought of them.
