How did the New Year’s Eve initiative come about?
“Sometimes some of us fly white balloons to somehow reach our husbands who are gone. Hence the idea of doing it with all the balloons together on the last night of 2020 ”.
How did your group of widows come from Covid?
“Each of us is part of the group We will denounce of relatives of coronavirus victims seeking real justice. I realized, reading the various experiences, that many women like me were alone with their children and I thought that getting together to share their experience could help us. So today we have 26, spread throughout Italy, between 50 and 75 years old. Among us also two very young thirty-year-olds who have lost their wives, their companions, staying alone with very young children. They are the most desperate and we try to give them the greatest possible comfort ”.
How?
“We listen to each other every day, practically from morning to night. And we keep each other company even at night, when we can’t sleep. We understand each other deeply in the same pain, we also say things that are difficult to say in the family so as not to renew the pain. And together we have overcome the phase of silence about the tragedy that has befallen us, together we process the mourning. We talk a lot, we video calls, we exchange cooking recipes, we plan our vacations together for next summer, we will surely see you in person as soon as possible. . It is as if we have known each other forever, we are united by a deep friendship ”.
What do they have in common?
“Everything. Our husbands left the same way during the first wave, taken by the ambulance when there was nothing left to do because they were hospitalized only at the last minute, after weeks of useless care at home and We all hope to return to see them after hospitalization, but they were intubated and some after 2 days, some at 15, as is the case of my husband Danilo Bassani, a 58-year-old florist with no previous pathologies, died. , they returned, weeks or months later, inside a funeral urn. We also all get sick with coronavirus, but in a mild way. And now we are left alone with our children, often small, some without work, others without a home. for each other and at the same time a support ”.
Did you ever think that if your husband got sick today it would be different?
Yes, it would have been different. Because in March there was no protocol to cure the disease. The patients all stayed at home with tachipyrine and antibiotics until they lost oxygenation and became irreparably worse. In October my husband’s brother got sick and I saw the different treatments up close: after three days of fever he was in the hospital. In the first wave even the doctors were in disarray and it was not their fault. For this we will follow the legal procedure of We will denounce“.
