There are events after which life is different than before. Simonetta Sommaruga and her husband, the writer Lukas Hartmann, recently experienced something like this. Hartmann suffered a stroke and had to be cared for in the hospital. The Federal Councilor took a short break last week to be with her husband. The break turned into a departure. Sommaruga announced on Wednesday that she would be stepping down at the end of the year.
