The woman told me that she had almost mined her health worrying over that only son. where was he? Was he safe? Or in action? Would he be wounded? Killed? When I asked her how she overcame her worry, she replied: “I got busy.” She told me that at first she had dismissed her maid and tried to keep busy by doing all her housework herself. But that didnt help much. “The trouble was,” she said, “that I could do my housework almost mechanically. So I kept on worrying. While making the beds and washing the dishes, I realized I needed some new kind of work that would keep me busy both mentally and physically. So I took a job as a saleswoman in a store.”“That did it,” she said. “I immediately found myself in a lot of activities: customers crowding around me, asking for prices, sizes, colors.
