Ingrid:Heimwärts

Ingrid Haushofer's texts accompany readers on the final stage of life's journey, the third age. In retrospective, images of a lived life pass before the inner eye, where readers can find themselves, and their own life experiences are articulated and placed in a larger understanding. The poems are imbued with a firm conviction that our paths, even though often fraught with difficulties and darkness, ultimately lead to light and the fullness of life. The certainty that there is a way back home, a journey home, offers hope and comfort. The poems can particularly resonate with those who wish to consciously perceive and reflect on their own age, as well as with those who accompany others on this journey – as friends, in families, in care homes, or in hospice work.
