The Fog

The main character in this novel goes through the fog, and walks the path of uncertainty with fear and an extraordinary feeling of loss. The fog is the uncertainty that spreads through her mind and soul, and waiting becomes her only form of existence. Every new day seems the same to her-her steps are uncertain, her thoughts wander between hope and fear, and the future is elusive, blurred, and unknown.The book ''THE FOG'' is a moving, honest, and deeply introspective story about human struggle, crying, prayer, and hope, on the path that leads to uncertainty. The reader encounters a whole series of uncertainties. The diagnosis, the outcome of which is a difficult operation, is uncertain for a woman in her eighth decade of life, and she has already survived so much pain and trauma... Even if the operation is successful, new uncertainty follows - what will the pH results show? And then uncertainty again...This book depicts a life scattered in layers of uncertainty, where every decision, every outcome, and every hope are lost in the outlines of an uncertain tomorrow. In this fog, a woman, already tired of trials, sets out on a journey where fate and outcomes are unpredictable, where every step can lead towards light or deeper darkness.Diagnosis, surgery, waiting for the results - each moment is shrouded in a thick layer of fog, through which she tries to glimpse what awaits her. Maybe recovery, maybe the end, which she secretly desires, maybe another continuation of the struggle that she sees no end to. And inside of this, she faces herself, her fears, her fatigue that does not go away, a silent, inextinguishable trace of hope.The book ''THE FOG'' is an excerpt from this woman's diary, a testimony of her inner struggle and search for peace. In a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, between despair and hope, fear and reconciliation, the reader goes through real and cruel moments of human existence. There is a desire to surrender, to close her eyes and rest, but also the need to continue - for the sake of those she loves and who love her, for those who are by her side and whose support becomes her support.In this fog, every step is questionable, every thought wanders between reality and dreams. The vision of the mother in a dream and her message symbolize the contrast between the hope for a new beginning and the desire for final peace. This encounter deeply affects the reader, opening up space for reflection on their life path and quests. Some will recognize in this novel reflections of their dreams, and other unconscious fears or desires. I hope everyone will find the universal truth that our dreams are not just an escape from reality, but are deeply connected to what we want and who we are.Through introspective monologues and indelible memories, the reader will feel how the boundaries between reality and dreams blur. This ambiguity, this constant struggle between light and darkness, becomes a symbol of inner strength - the strength that is born precisely in moments when it seems there is no way out. Reading this book, you will feel pain, and recognize fear, but perhaps, in that grayness, you will also find your hope, your path to calmness, an exit from the grayness and the terrible fog full of uncertainty. Fog is a powerful symbol of uncertainty and transience because every fog eventually dissipates... However, its departure does not always bring relief - sometimes you discover a landscape you did not want to see, sometimes a path appears that you did not even think you would have to take, and the sun can suddenly shine through the fog....This book will resonate especially with women who have faced and are facing similar challenges. However, its message is universal. All of us, regardless of age, experience, or struggles, have the same need-to find the light that emerges from the fog.
