I have a bit of a problem and hope someone here can help.
There is an older German woman who has lived here in Sosua for years and years. She lives alone with her dogs. She is quite a character. Goes by the name of Rosa. Although I have seen her many times over the years, I only know her personally because a few months ago one of her dogs attacked my dog. She is no more than an acquaintance- I am not even certain exactly where she lives- but she left a message for me to call her yesterday saying she needed to talk to me. We planned to meet today, and when she didn't show up, I called her again.
Apparently, her cancer, which had been in remission, has come back. She is getting chemotherapy treatments, but now has some very serious, life threatening complications. She told me she is afraid.
I am looking for some other Germans- or anyone who might know her- who might offer to visit and/or offer her some sort of help. I can't believe she doesn't have any friends since she has been here so long. I am quite confused regarding why she would call me.
I offered to bring her some soup this afternoon, but now she does not answer her phone. She gave me general directions to her house, but frankly, I have mixed emotions regarding whether to just go there. I am afraid of a.) what I might find, and b.) becoming involved over my head with someone I don't really know.
Does anyone on this board know this woman? If so, can you offer some help of some sort?
