Hard Times, Hard Times

Even though I 'm a famous scientist, everybody has troubles and obstacles in their life, right?

Well here are some of mine, some of my hard, hard times.

When I lived in Paris, France, everyone thought I was having an affair with a man named Paul Langevin. That was false. Even my husband didn't believe it! Then whenever I would go outside, people hated me, gave me grief, hard looks and didn't like me anymore. Life was a disaster! I went from this famous, great scientist, to a person whom nobody liked. But I decided, even after all of my relatives and family told me to leave Paris, I stayed. My whole family had turned French. Why leave now? How brave was I then? VERY.

Another obstacle that I had to overcome was when I tried to have a second baby but it unfortunately died. This caused a lot of heart ache for me and my husband, but especially me. Losing a baby that you think will be yours is very sad. Grief overwhelmed me at the loss of my baby.

One last and very devastating obstacle or tough time for me was when the worst of the worst happened. My beloved husband named Pierre, who was a great help to me, died. I was left alone shocked and terribly sad. When I found out about the tragedy, I was at a loss of words. I sat outside by myself mourning. That just shows how hard this time was for me.

That concludes the toughest times for me, or my obstacles and risks.
