Empress Elisabeth, Part II

[Imperial_Grounds]

She got to many losts and she was tired....Probably thats why she was waiting for death to come.....

I agree, the loss of Rudolf was the final blow,
she just longed to death after his death,

[paola]

And after Rudolph's death came the ones of her mother, her favorite sister Helene and finally her younger sister Sophie. All this was too much for her plus her melancholic depressed character and her rigid diets  did't help her much.

Rigid diets to stay in shape or was she doing it because she's depressed?

I think Helene was sick, I know Sisi was warned a bit before and that Marie Valerie noted the event in her diary:

She became very ill with stomach cancer in 1890, and her sister Elisabeth hurried to her side. Elisabeth was the last person to speak with Helene. Elisabeth's daughter Marie Valerie related in her diary, "Aunt Néné ... was glad to see Mama and said to her, 'Old Sisi' -- she and Mama almost always spoke English together. 'We two have had hard puffs in our lives,' said Mama. 'Yes, but we had hearts,' replied Aunt Néné."

What a pitiful Sissi. She received many tragedies. (Teary-eyed)

[IrinaAlexandrovna]

Indeed she got hard life and thats why she wanted death to come faster..... But there was one story what you wish very much in the end is happening.....

[Eric_Lowe]

Indeed...After she settled Valerie's marriage, Sisi began a mindless travel until her death.

Why did she long for it ? Guilt about Rudolf...Lost of love and beauty...lack of purpose after the Hungarian project.

[IrinaAlexandrovna]

Thanks

Eric when the site is finished i will give you link to see it and read everything which i wrote... You remember we had conversation about the ladies in waiting.... The closes ones were Maria Festetics and Ida Ferenci i mention them in her biography i have picture of Maria

[Eric_Lowe]

Thanks ! Looking forward to them...

Sisi was forever looking for her dreams...in Hungary and Greece...

[IrinaAlexandrovna]

Yes and people from Austrian court were impressed by her love to Hungary... And people in Hungary loved her....

[Olga Maria]

Lost of love and beauty..

Did she ever lose her beauty? I think she didn't for she still looks pretty to me.

[IrinaAlexandrovna]

She didn't want to take photos of her when she became old...She wanted people to remember her beautiful what she was....So there are no pictures of her in her last years....And i would want the same when i get older... Just thinking like her....
