In 1918, after the First World War ended, a flu epidemic spread over Europe, killing thousands of people. Linda Fierz-David became ill with it and almost died. One of Linda’s sons, Heinrich, eventually became a Jungian analyst, and his twin brother became an assistant to Wolfgang Pauli, the physicist and close friend of Marie-Louise von Franz and collaborator and friend of Jung. In the meantime, Linda devoted herself to psychology, and with Jung’s encouragement became a Jungian analyst. In the meantime, Linda devoted herself to psychology, and with Jung’s encouragement became a Jungian analyst. Linda, or “Sieglinde” as Jung had now nicknamed her, worked hard and did a very feminine, intuitive interpretation of them. Linda had a little dog to whom she had been much attached as a middle-aged woman. The night that Linda died, her daughter-in-law had a dream that a little old lady went into the forest and did not return.
