The 66-year-old herself told VG that she had been going through a very difficult time in relation to the battle.
– We are moving forward, but it takes time. Now I can’t wait for the book to be published and meet readers. It was the bright spot, he said at the time.
– Completely indifferent
In a recent interview with Norsk Ukeblad, Ragde now reflects on what happened in 2019. The author was going out to walk her dog before being visited by friends at the cabin – she’s not sure what happened after the walk .

He only remembers fragments of it.
For eight days Ragde was hospitalized in the stroke unit of St. Olav Hospital, a stay of which she remembers little.
– It was nice not knowing anything about what happened to me. I was with one foot in the grave and I was simply completely indifferent to it, he tells Norsk Ukeblad.
– People got angry
– I hope it will be so
He doesn’t look back on the incident with horror and horror, but rather looks at the positives that came from it.
– I consider it a good experience, it’s just how I am – I always think positively. That I survived the stroke is good, and now I know what it’s like to have one foot in the grave. I hope it will be like this even when one day I really die: that everything is indifferent to me.

He explains that actually being so close to death was something completely different than he had initially imagined.
– As a writer, I’ve already written a lot about death, so I thought I had a pretty good overview of what was going to happen, but being there in person was something completely different, she acknowledges.
