"Unter der Rubrik VERMISCHTES stand in der Sonntagsausgabe der Kärntner "Volkszeitung" folgendes: "In der Nacht zum Samstag verübte eine 51jährige Hausfrau aus A. (Gemeinde G.) Selbstmord durch Einnehmen einer Überdosis von Schlaftabletten." Es ist inzwischen fast sieben Wochen her, seit meine Mutter tot ist, und ich möchte mich an die Arbeit machen, bevor das Bedürfnis, über sie zu schreiben, das bei der Beerdigung so stark war, sich in die stumpfsinnige Sprachlosigkeit zurückverwandelt, mit der ich auf die Nachricht von dem Selbstmord reagierte."
