La muerte a través del arte | Silvia Fernández | TEDxYouth@PaseodelPrado


go to heaven dying final death of the

life breeding mallows has gone on a trip

go to the other neighborhood until heard

finish in the pine box

how many laps we give to say a

single word truth the its the

we avoid saying in ways

indecipherable everything not to say death

and I say it because I was working on

an insurer in travel assistance

and in one of the calls a woman does not

I realized that I was processing a

repatriation by death until the

after ten minutes and when the

intuitive

I asked him to clarify it and he told me

it has happened not like we sometimes say

death or we say the word three times

as it reaches us before

but you know not everywhere

death is dressed in black or is a

taboo when traveling to india with the

Hinduism speak of death from

small because what they do in rise

will impact on his reincarnation and that

day when the day of his death arrives

everyone wears colorful flowers and

it smells like incense and that kind of like

It came out a bit because I think

when I have to go to the funeral home not so

cold and I have that broken person of plant

my broken pain and I do not know what

tell you at that time I do not know if it has

past what are you looking for phrases

reassuring how he had a life

happy or at least you did not suffer you do not have

to cheer you up who would not like to see you

well or and now very old and the other

person should be thinking if but

even if my mother had died with 200

years would still be my mother not and the

pain was still indescribable but

Of course, what do I do if I do not say that?

I also asked and with my

training in social education and with

selling I realized that really not

say nothing

best option to respect silence give

the hand a hug offer a handkerchief

he has simply done it

just being is what really

No, but above all, what I

I dedicate professionally is to accompany

the end of life because many times

this taboo that I’m talking about does not

let’s do that does not leave us aside

say goodbye and on the other hand

reconcile

for example my grandmother and my mother two

because I’ve been living with my whole life

she was very sick and when I was

admitted the doctors told us hours

then they told us three days later we

they said he will not leave the hospital

fortunately he recovered and now

it’s fine but at that time we had

to do an exercise and this exercise

It was to say goodbye because we also

they gave very little time then in that

clear moment

You think, nobody has taught me anyone

has educated me to manage a moment

well and disguised why do you think that

without speaking it will be protecting the other

and the other person who is in the end

of the life

he does not want to talk about it either, for not doing

suffer but my grandmother who is very smart and

He knows that I had been undertaking

a project to accompany through

artistic expression put me homework

I guess you want to know what they are

He said queues did not tell me

Nicolae told me that what do you do

mount photos and what did you do to me once

this one and he did not tell me he did not tell me one to

each person that is specified

special for her

clear as my grandmother right now

not at the same time medicine advances a lot and

with it the end of life also

lengthens sometimes painful conditions

and not only because of the physical pain but

also mostly because of the pain

emotional

then needs arise

to feel heard understood from

express feelings or like my grandmother

to leave a legacy because with the collage

what she wanted to do

was to tell those special people

that he loved them and that he did not want

they will forget about it because this was one of

the reasons for me to dedicate myself to

accompany the end of life with the

artistic expression because the

artistic expression is a great

tool because you do not need to know

many techniques or be a great artist

only with one activity and ones

basic materials

you can do giant things I want

talk about everything about the first patient

that I had in the pilot test of

terrassa hospital because the first

patient as that makes a lot and good

was Antonio was 90 years old

at that time and he was recovering

of a very hard fall and the first day

that I entered the room although I

I found lying on the bed and he said

‘I am very lazy and I have no desire to

do anything just explained to me everything

that had been what before

had done and like now I do not

it was worth it then we chose a

cardboard

he chose the color because you are

small decisions are very important

to give autonomy at that time and in

that card we made a line

chronological of the songs that had

marked in your life then we carry

listening to the songs

he was telling me the memories that he

they arose from those songs were coming out

nice stories sad stories

but all are part of the

next session

I recommended that you keep thinking about

songs and it was very beautiful because when

I got to the next one

he had finished the line

chronological together with his son

they had been creating beautiful memories

and had been enjoying the present

that Antonio had not done

that and less in a hospital than sometimes

it’s more delicate not for the next

session

Antonio invented a song and yola

transcribed and this song

we also recorded it and not only this one

but we recorded all the songs of his

life in chronological order and also the

that he composed in a cd lapuerta

we left empty because he decided that

she wanted her granddaughters to paint her

then the last day when I

I was

when the elevator started listening to

someone singing and it was antonio for the

hallway with the taca taca singing the

song and of course that for me was a lot

more success than any question

there was satisfaction that I could spend

after the sessions with this

this is just an example me with this what

What I want to say is that sometimes

very little is needed to give a little while

nice when really the

possibilities and skills and

capabilities at that time allow you

for example, the simple act of thinking

make the person think in a moment

happy and write a poem of that do

a drawing of that is to paint over that or

Write your name in its color

favorite and that from each letter take one

an adjective if it can be positive because

sometimes not like it costs a little more

or for example make a mandala paint it

of bright colors and give it to

someone

these are also some examples

and sometimes it’s not like a bit of fear

the fact that he has not painted

I have not written for a long time, I do not know if

I will do well what matters

it’s really the process, not him

the end not me with would be super

satisfied with that one of you who

you are here today I left here and

out running to be with his mother

grandfather father grandma aunt and will listen

a song from his youth and he will create a

I remember pretty and if in the future

we can order at the hospital

support through

artistic expression

then this talk would have been valid

very much worth it because really what

means that with that taboo of the

death that spoke to you is not so much for the

fact of dying but by how to die and

also for those who accompany us

and above all that we do not waste everything

what we can do when that

person is still with us and not that

we regret everything we have not

done not then that we regret

what we have been able to do

thank you very much the

me
