This booklet “Breathe up – keeping hope in tough times” is for Ukrainian families, especially women, who got displaced from their homeland through terrors of war. It offers poetic literature and meditation with practical questions to empower, heal and strengthen the soul. Beautiful handpainted aquarell pictures which are uniquely created for this booklet, sweeten each chapter. The booklet encourages to live in the present and make every day count. Topics are Self-love and value, Dealing with loneliness and sadness, Saying good-bye to a husband who is involved in their home country, Dealing with distance relationship and longing, Encouragement and Tipps to make progress even though one is afraid, and finally picturing being together again as a family and inspiring ideas to use the waiting time.
