12 reviews for Das Schicksal köpfte meinen Mann – aber nicht unsere Ehe (Hauke)

  1. Sabine Schneider -

    A captivating book full of authentic experiences that you can hardly put down. You often feel as if you were there yourself, as in my case. I have lived in an apartment in the author's apartment building for a long time, and she not only tells her unique love story with impressive - sometimes almost "frightening" - openness, but has also become my landlady.
    Since then, she has been living an "unheadable" agape love for me, which has brought about a wonderful turnaround for me - a previously hopeless case.
    A book that can really leave you "speechless" and lead you into a new dimension of unconditional love, just as it did for me and her "decapitated" husband! It should also be read by many caregivers, as well as stroke victims and their families, and of course by those who wish to revitalize their relationships. Anyone who does not shy away from certain truths that are packed with unfeigned love will find countless solutions to any relationship problems here - thanks to an invisible companion of the author, who repeatedly engages in dialogs with her that are an extraordinary peculiarity and run through the entire work, without mysticism or science fiction being involved.

    Good to read. Very exciting! The book is full of truths. A real enrichment for life. Much can be implemented in everyday life.

  3. Christa Krämer -

    An exciting book whose heartfelt content reveals an unconditional love. This miraculous late marriage was extraordinary, but also dramatic, right to the end.

  4. S.Wittma -

    The author looks after her husband, who has a brain disease, devotedly and experiences many adventures in the process. She often reaches the limits of her own capabilities. But then a miracle happens: her love for him grows even more. What helps her every day and gives her superhuman strength is her unwavering faith and her relationship with "Miss Wisdom", who always has a solution ready even in impossible situations! Highly recommended, also for all nursing staff!

    An excellent book!

    Absolutely thrilling, captivating and really impressive, so that I couldn't stop reading it. Even after the end, it just wouldn't let me go. I recommend everyone to read it! Definitely a unique story, based on a true story, about a couple who loved each other endlessly and went through lows and highs together.

  6. M. Traunfelder -

    The author's extraordinary love story can have very different effects on the reader, such as fascination and enthusiasm, which makes it impossible to stop reading.
    But it can also lead to amazement, listening and contemplation, with the opportunity to draw benefits for one's own life, as it did for me!

  7. Valie -

    Indeed extraordinary, unique and well worth reading!
    Phew, I'm reading this book and I get goosebumps all the time,
    especially when Miss Wisdom comes into play.
    This story is the symphony of a truly experienced love that runs like a thread through the whole book. The book reads very easily, peppered with a wealth of vocabulary that allows you to experience a concentrated load of depth.
    It really is an extraordinary love story, well worth reading. It takes us on a moving journey into a world where the supernatural becomes natural in everyday life!

  8. A poignant story -

    I've had this book on my "to read" list for some time and regret not having read it sooner. A heartbreaking story that is about the true and pure love that humanity longs for. I couldn't put the book down as I couldn't believe how positive a person can remain and be under such circumstances.

  9. Carmen Paul -

    Simply wonderful and very, very excitingly written. I am simply thrilled by so much honesty! This book is highly recommended.

  10. Mimi -

    A very valuable book, easy and good to read, which calls problems by name and reports openly about them, but also shows what is possible through true love. People cannot overcome these depths alone, but need a living relationship with God in addition to medical help.

  11. really great book -

    A fantastic, honest and a great book written by a wonderful woman. I have always said that I only believe people who practise what they preach. Since I know the author personally, I can say the same: she lives her content unconditionally. Unbelievable.
    Anything else would be, as she would say, hypocrisy.

  12. Gabriele Pässler -

    Very informative!
    Dementia - Farewell - Dying - Grief.
    The author has experienced first-hand what it is like to be married to someone with dementia for years; her book is a practical guide for relatives and friends of people with dementia. The book, as thick as it is, reads well and easily.
    The author not only candidly names and describes the faults and weaknesses of her "decapitated" husband (before and after the illness) - without any vindictiveness or bitterness! -but she also gives a clear view of her own mistakes and weaknesses. However, she does not punish herself by tearing herself apart with a guilty conscience; she knows and shows how to get rid of such burdens and "start again". This is also an important piece of life support, not only for family caregivers.
    What impresses me is that the "happiest single woman in the world" gets married at 44 (as a virgin) and now enjoys being loved and pampered to the hilt. Her husband is already retired and the two of them have plenty of time to enjoy and nurture their relationship.
    After years of care, Christine Hauke not only witnessed the death of her Jossi, she also writes very openly about the last days, hours, minutes and words. I can't remember a death report that was so detailed. An enormous emotional achievement!
    Another important aspect is dealing with her husband's jealousy. On p. 159, Christine Hauke quotes her best friend and advisor "Miss Wisdom": "It would also have been important to strengthen her own self-esteem and self-confidence more, but to give the selfish ego a defeat in return." Yes, that's right, that's what it says: self-esteem not as a caress for, but as a means against the selfish ego! Give it a try. Miss Wisdom shows new ways ...
    The author asks (pp. 203-204): "Why is it often the case that the young have difficulties with the old and the sons with their fathers? Does this also have to do with the strong and the weak?" Miss Wisdom answers: "Yes, because the strong is challenged by the weak and to the extent that there are still old unhealed wounds in the young, it is not possible for them to properly honor and appreciate the old. The strong exalt themselves. The young despise the old, the sons their fathers, because there is still something old in them with which they are not yet reconciled."
    I was very impressed by how beautifully the author knows how to honor her own parents; she does not conceal the fact that she also made decisions that her parents had imagined differently. For example, they are initially cautious about their daughter's relationship with the man who is decades older than her, but at the wedding they give their wholehearted blessing; the father even recites a long poem that he wrote himself. By the way: the poem is also in the book, in full length.
    My conclusion: Highly recommended and valuable all round!
