Gediminas Girdvainis’s wife, who has lost part of herself, about the last heartbreaking conversation with her husband and for whom he will be forever grateful

“You know, it won’t be easy for me,” says the interlocutor, hearing the desire to find peace as soon as possible. – outshines all life. What I need to go through … No, I will never forget it. “

When asked about her recent conversations with her husband, the stage and film actress does not hide the fact that they were all accompanied by deep thoughts.

“I remember the last conversation with Gediminas with heart pain. We discussed the quarantine since, in our opinion, some measures adapted to combat it are not necessary. I reassured him, I told him that everything would happen,” recalls the woman and immerses herself in her reflections. about the theater and how it affected the lives of both of them.

“It is a time when it is time to go out and it is time for others to come. It will be time for all of us to give way to youth. He also understood it and agreed, but, you know, we often feel completely different from what we talk about. That theater, the cinema is a bacillus. It seems that you have just entered and you already have to say goodbye. It is something like that. That wait … Gediminas really still had plays in the theater, he had roles. it was as if he didn’t have it and everything in his life was already faltering. No. He was a man who had been used to working all his life, so the quarantine was painful for him. That is why our last conversations were serious ” says K. Andrejauskaitė.

The actress herself, who has created dozens of different roles in the theater, says that both she and her husband found peace in nature, so G. Girdvainis rushed out of the hustle and bustle of the city as soon as the quarantine decreased.

“He loved nature and visited the farm. They even ran to her because they found peace there. It was fun for him to tidy up the whole farm. Now he was the one who arranged everything. He cut the meadow everywhere, left order and left,” he says. the woman with sensitivity.

“It just came to our attention then. After softening, Gediminas went to the farm. He would have flown there a long time ago, but the weather was still cold for a long time. I kept discouraging him, I said there was nothing to sit there, it freezes, you should light the fireplace, who needs it. I told him that good morning will come soon and that I can go. Apparently, it was necessary, “he thinks.

This departure from Gediminas to nature was, unfortunately, the last. The fact that something bad had happened, the wife became suspicious without receiving a call from the husband. It was quite unusual.

“It just came to our attention then. I found him on the farm. He didn’t pick up the phone for long. I started to worry if the phone didn’t connect or if something bad had happened. Anxiety overwhelmed me. This has never been the case. We used to call in the morning or go to bed, we kept in touch if we weren’t together. This is already common in our family. And with the children too. But when I didn’t get a call, when I couldn’t call him, the panic started ” remembers the woman in horror.

With the loss of her husband, the actress seemed to have lost part of herself. The couple lived together for 50 years, raised a daughter, and were already happy to have a granddaughter.

“You know, everything has been going on for so many years: they both live in silence and they get angry. But we really live in harmony,” says G. Girdvainis’ wife.

“I can thank him for those 50 years of living together, for his care for me, my daughter and my granddaughter. I think he has the greatest tragedy for him. He loved his grandfather very much and Gediminas loved him very much. He will remain,” K. Andrejauskaitė concluded the conversation with sensitivity.

G. Girdvainis’s daughter inherited many of her traits.

Delphi I had an exceptional opportunity to speak to Jurgas Girdvainytė-Šuminienė, the daughter of G. Girdvainis. In the coronavirus approach, in the Santarišk clínicas clinics, the daughter of the deputy chief medical officer for nursing was unable to visit her parents throughout the quarantine period.

“They and their mother allowed the entire quarantine at home, they didn’t go anywhere.” And the last time I saw my dad and me was just before the quarantine, we were with my parents and they visited the guests. Well, and then, for the safety of all of us, we only communicated by phone, “Jurga said.

Although Dad had health problems, the loss, according to the woman, was very unexpected for the whole family.

“I used to have heart problems. The blood pressure was high, it was regulated by medications, “said Jurga.

The daughter of the two actors did not hide her pain and spoke of her father only in the most beautiful words.

“He just came to our attention then. He loved me immensely, he loved his grandson immensely. Probably the most painful thing for him now,” Jurga told him about his son, who was studying at Kaunas in the past year. – And anyway, We really lived in a good mood. He was joking at home, but he was also an extremely sensitive person. From him and my mother, I learned scrupulousness, diligence, trying to do my best. Dad was stubborn, diligently pursuing his goal. I am the Also, he was infinitely punctual. I think I have that trait, too. Few of my colleagues know who my dad was. I just didn’t hear him. Those who found out said that looking at me I saw a lot of daddy traits. “

The woman said that the love of father and mother was also an example for her family.

“As in all families, everything has been there. But the two agreed very well. For me, our family style is inspiration. So much to live together … In November, they celebrated their 50th anniversary together. There are not many families of artists left, but they, always together, never felt any competition, “said the interlocutor.
