1316 - Everyday is Harder
TW DEATHS
Driftwood Family - England
Reynilda was in bed. She felt weaker and weaker everyday... The pregnancy seemed endless...
Until one night, she went into labour. It was hard and difficult, she had the babies at home alone with Tally and in the middle of the night, Reynilda had quatriplets, which cost her life. She was weak and tired and couldn't deliver the fourth baby girl. They had a boy, Denis, and three girls, Joyse, Aubray and Sabeline. Sabeline and Reynilda were buried together.
Everything that was left after this this was chaos. Tally was alone with three newborns, two infants, a toddler and Tome and Clementia who were still children. He almost didn't sleep the first weeks and was devastated about Reynilda passing away... The lack of food was at its peak and now he had so many mouths to feed...
One night, he made a promise to himself: he would do ANYTHING to keep his children alive, for Reynilda, the love of his life. But that promise was a hard one to keep during these times...
Clementia and Tome helped a lot with the babies and with the chores.
Luckily, the three babies aged up into infants :)
And Martha and Elias also aged up into toddlers :) Martha was really clingy and always wanted to have all the attention that she could get. Also, she was picky eater... so Tally had to fight a lot to feed her. Meanwhile, Elias was very independent and could figure everything out by himself.
The last birthday in the family was Clementia Carpenter, who aged up into a gorgeous teen. She started helping more with the children, cooking and doing laundry. But she never left aside her books and her cross-stitching :)
Proczel, Münch and Bucket Family - Germany
This three family suffered the consequences of the Great Famine more than the main family in England...
The Proczel family were the one that struggled the most. With a baby and a girl, Tierra and Ranfeld realized that there wasn't enough food for everybody... so they prioritized their children. But that wasn't enough: Irmel Proczel, the baby girl, caught a cold that wouldn't have been dangerous if she was well nourished, but that wasn't the case. So she passed away one night, leaving the family devastated.
Months later, Ranfeld and Tierra were weaker everyday, so Ranfeld decided to give all the food they had left to Engel and send her away with the Zymmers. He would have go with her but he barely could walk... he knew the end was near. Days later after Engel left, both Ranfeld and Tierra passed away...
The Münch family was another one that suffered the famine consequences. Ursula wasn't feeling well since the childbirth because of the lack of food, and neither were Odelgarde, the little girl. Odelgarde aged up into an infant but died days later because of malnutrition...
Ursula couldn't handle the lost of her baby, it just worsen her condition... so she passed away days later, leaving Milton all by himself.
The Buckets had more luck because they had more food than the rest of the families, just like the Zymmers. The difference wasn't huge, but it was something.
Steffan Bucket aged up into a strong infant.
But the fields weren't giving any crops this year and they didn't know if the situation was going to change... so Jack Burner, Sophie's dad, decided to sacrifice himself going into the woods, so the family had one less mouth to feed.
