Jurgos mirtis / The difficult death

Today the famous Lithuanian writer & painter, Jurga Ivanauskaitė died. Her modern & original works influenced many people. She has received the National Premium and is known in the foreign countries. The book "A witch and rain" which I was reading not long time ago, is written by her. I really liked it. From this book I understood that she was a Christian. I didn't know because she used to travel to Tibet and other countries where buddhism rules. Thus, today at the age of 45 she died because of cancer. It was about a year she was diagnosed, it was about a year she was waiting for her death. The main goal of her books is to mirror the dark sides of ourselves, to stay in difficult experiences & to grow/enrich ourselves through them.
