Triunfos ante la adversidad | Susana Roccatagliata | TEDxUDDSalon


the death of a son is a blow

awful a terrible invisible ax

that leaves us stupid two speechless

it collapses as we continue to live

after the death of a son like

keep breathing eating while smiling

to life itself has broken the loved one

why we woke up

every morning

smiling at life in the time of

our grandparents and great grandparents would follow

environment and facing death

he talked about death many

they lived in rural areas where I saw

born and die to their animals to

dying to their loved ones in their

last moment they were accompanied in the

deathbed were there and now they’re going

together they prayed together they will say goodbye today

we live on our backs death

we want to be eternally beautiful we want

be eternally well and we have

delivered to doctors the power of the

total healing we have replaced the

religious beliefs the faith for

science

we thought we went to the hospital to the

clinic to the health center to leave

cured

we never think about death and when

these are presented to us as a guest

stone that no one has called not

we know how to face death yet

worst

nobody has ever prepared us for defeat

we live in a successful world where

they just prepare us to lift the

arms in triumph but nobody

prepares us for when it’s not wrong or not

as well

nobody teaches us to console myself to be

consoled nobody teaches us to forgive and

forgiven how to forgive me if I

bring that wonderful son

francisco to a hospital where he left

inside a coffin

That was my baby who reached or drinks

to live barely almost five years as

continue living and you pose many

things who am I where I’m going

what is life because death because

my son because me because we because

my family that there are beyond questions

all without response and you can torture

and spend your life wondering how

make sense of nonsense and we

we forget that life friends is a

sequence of duels no growth

mental without elaborating a grieving process

and maybe the first duel of our

life is when we come out of the womb of

our mother and of course we cried

there is a town a loss of that

peace that tranquility that there was after

of weaning if you do not learn water that is

baby to take off from his mother’s breast

it’s hard for me to keep moving forward and

growing therefore the duel is a

existential radical that differentiates us

of the animals there is no growth

mental without grieving and when we see each other

faced with this tremendous event to the

loss of a somewhat unnatural child

it has a name because there are orphans to

yoke but that we are parents in

mourning we have to elaborate a

tremendous process many times very

misunderstood because it’s difficult and I

I get it

put ourselves in our place but we have

that try to get ahead for us

same for that son who left because

he came to this earth at whatever age

let it be

I’ve heard gara moore and not to convert to

this family is dead in life but it is

difficult it is very difficult that not

cheat first thing

bereavement is not a disease does not exist

nothing that to me of the remedy and a

pill and a sleeping pill nothing that to me

make me forget that that son died

because in the minute that I’m lucid

I realize that on this earth

never more

I ‘m going to see him alive again so

so much this duel that you have to elaborate

it’s like a chain has link is

this these four or four stages that

they are called four stages truth is

like a chain because if I jumped

a link tomorrow in a lot more time

or when it is for some other event

that does not happen in life I’m going to go back

to zero point

I will go back to that stage I have it

what to live

the first is the frob is when you

whole or when you listen to that

phone at three in the morning you

you know there’s nothing good there and you

heart of alert

there is an alert from mother to father

family that that called

it’s something that the soft of the

first instant is how I accept with the

heart

the death of a child my head does not accept

but as I agree on the

heart with the brain

look imagine that the distance that

there is between my heart and my brain is

very short but endless and is within

the mind

I have not how to agree not

I know how to accept the unacceptable to me

it seems to me that I am living a

nightmare and that to me tomorrow someone

he’s going to wake up and he’s going to tell me it’s not

true

your son is alive I have to start

accept an unacceptable reality give

meaning to nonsense

at this stage is so much pain that no

there are almost words you can not put in

words what

living my soul the second stage in a

super long stage because it’s coming

the rage

the guilt the anguish and that feeling

so human that it differentiates us from

animals and that is worth it

it hurts every inch of me

skin

my hair hurts my hair falls out

I want to eat

I do not want to see people laugh I do not know

I want to go out to the street and fast to

walk

I do not want people to eat I talked

go to the movies I watched movies that in it

neighbors laugh my house the

children because I can not imagine

my future I only know from the moment

when my son died back no

I know how to get back into that world

demanding where people are

ready to succeed where every

one of you is going to follow your life and I

do not

in my house everything was shattered any

piece was full and I never even

my husband or my husband nor my children nor

my grandparents grandparents nobody from the

family will be the same person

and if you or someone expects that

bereaved person to be the one who was

they could only be frustrated why

never again

we do the same in this

rabies anguish penalty period

rage is a feeling is something very

human we have to dump what

it happened to us in someone and we put the rage

we get angry against doctors against

society against god against the driver

who was driving that machine and finally

we get angry with ourselves because

we realize that we do what

let’s get angry with who we are

let’s get mad again we’ll see again

with life to our son

Thus

that anger that guilt that I feel

in the background myself get into a

introverted line and I begin to

ask me why I did not do it like that

because he can not do it anymore because I told him

that it was because I gave him permission because

lend the car because I did not take it

why not take it to the United States to

take the exam etc. and so on

etc

at this stage there is a lot of anger and this

rage you have to get it out

many times I talking with parents

in duel they tell me that logically with

the person who has the most at hand

finally they are downloaded and it is your spouse

your partner your partner finally the father

of that son I tell you dear parents

please have patience here what

Only one thing is to be patient with the

another and with oneself do not add more

pain to the pain that already exists so

So one of the things that helps is because

example wait for everyone to leave the

home seize the moment when one

he’s just putting a music to the best

some want a good ranchera

weeping others will want a music

inspiring go to the piece put it in

loud voice

the high volume and stick with the

pillow to bed do homework five

minutes at least a day and you will see

that helps them get rid of rabies and not

take out anger against others that you

they do not realize

one does not realize in pain that the

another is also suffering because they

I want to say that in the duel

there is the invisibility of pain

I do not imagine that another could suffer as

I’m suffering, not even the father

of my son I do not see it

although I do not see my son

Although I imagine he could

be suffering but he did not share

what I com

You I was the mother I took him in my

belly and all these things that one gets

imagine and think make you one

begins to move away from the couple and so

we started to live instead of in a home

we started to live in a hotel every son

it is enclosed in one piece each child eats

what you can get out of the refrigerator is

also encloses jogo bonito cuenta mi

fellow senior well also then

I tell them they have is patience and

another important oxygen in the brain

They need to go for a walk, although they do not

can take a step

many times you promise yourself when you leave

the day says I go day I promise myself

be a little better but just put

a foot under the bed and everything goes back to

fojas zero

but if you propose to him and he says

I’m going to walk at least I’ll give

a return to the block or in the square

the corner and look not only at the tip of

his feet

please look up to heaven they will have

expand be the universe and please

close your eyes concentrate for five

seconds in a rainbow do not think about

they know nothing that we think more

that we have more than 60 thousand thoughts

a day we went from one to the other one to the

another one in times of crisis is good

stop and try to have the

quiet brain

concentrate on one thing and think

iris which encompassed them tomorrow

will allow each of you

grieving parents come back to see a bit of

light and not continue living in this tunnel

black

the next stage is the stage of

adaptation

I in this life will not go back to see

my son and therefore I have to be reborn

to life and place that child that no longer

it is in my inner world

it’s very difficult but you can

we have achieved billions of

father in the world

so there’s no need to be a day

special and have a strength

alien

The only thing that will help us is to think

that son is not my executioner did not come to

this earth bury that son wants

feel proud of me like me

I feel proud and have had the

privilege and the honor of being his mother and

in the reunion in that eternal embrace

some day we will give myself I think that

he also feels proud

proud proud of this family that

had the final stage is the stage of the

resolution where is very nice

because it’s like being reborn and that’s why

the self-help groups are called

be reborn because I reopen my eyes to

a new hole a new world maybe

they have new friends and friends

before they were left on the road

not because they are bad, understand me

surely if it had happened to me

what happened to me to a friend who

I would not have known what to do either and

true that each one returns his reality to

his world his work to his family the

things the world is frantic all

they run and they run and I stopped just me

and my family stopped

it’s like touching a wall or 200 a

300 kilometers per hour

there is nothing black then I understand

that people say to you ‘well I changed

the friends also some

they remained a few

Regarding it is very important that the

stage in the resolution what you see is

the future for the first time was that of

walk forward

that is also a discovery that

you do because you are a new me or

a new hole true and you want new

things in your life

maybe for example you want to learn

new gardening things

and to have a pet in order to dedicate

do not be like the movies at all

stages of mourning

the books are the best counselors

read always in life people have gone

very smart and then he has put

in writing things that one does not even

I could imagine

therefore lean are good counselors

the books the friends of the mourner

they have to know a pure thing they do not have

that prejudge and judge which have already

spent eight months and still the same said

after I cry it I do not know all my life

doha 14 if I do not know the only thing

I want you to listen to me, there’s no

nothing that you tell me to return to me

son to this earth but I the only

way to bring the present to my son

talking about him and seeing the photos of

reviewing the videos from when you ‘re

the first tooth came out when I cut it

the little hair

when I came to school to the garden

childish when I put the first one

apron when he left school

when received as an engineer

when he told me he wanted to be a poet

our children or our children

we can cry all our life but we have to

learn to help with dignity

that’s what they expect from us

children is very important when you

they have other children and smaller than

the one who left did not tell him that he who

It was in a little angel that God took him

because it was very good

imagine that a minor evil child of

five years or 6 does not have resources

as adults to know or to

imagine in concrete form what is the

death

he has seen the cartoons that the

bad is always crushed and they end

bad and that good wins I thought but in

real life what they are telling me

is that the flight dies or is going and

who the bad then i am bad

because I stay and I do not take diosito

what a super good god and want what

better for us then let’s not go

this phrase do not continue with this sentence is

that one so often listens to the other

parents should know that children do not

they need to go to the cemetery all the

day is enough for us to go but

they imagine a boy sitting on the

gravestone daily and happens happens more

of what one would like to leave the

children in the care of someone from a

neighbor of a friend who has others

little boy other companions of the same

age that can play in children

you know how they are with the game at

play children show their seventh

and his feelings and in him in what

They are living many children

they ask their parents if someone gives

to eat the brother who left

if someone is for when

cold and if it trembles mom who takes care of it

Children need clear answers

but not knowing more than they

can understand that is to say there is no

give you more information than what

they need and ask about the other

important

the teenagers when the children and

the teenagers do not want to forget this

they do not learn from what they hear they learn

of what they see in the house if my son

little one asks me mom is

crying and I tell him no son came in

a little fly to the eye I ‘m

lying and he knows even small

I have to tell my son that I’m

sad but it would have been sad

by any of you

10 followed and normal and natural in the

life in dying of old man is not to die

from young to you this will not happen to you

death is spread

the death talk does not bring death

to this home

people are afraid to talk to us crosses

the street when not faith I did not follow

why because we are afraid that we

pass that to us but I assure you

that does not spread

but if it makes them more human because

unfortunately I had to learn

well i would have loved to daract a

gardening talk is my passion and I do not

of this but I had to learn like that and

this led me to understand

thank you we got like this to this pain can

be more empathetic with your pain with the

your most sensitive can learn to

listen to the other and many times we

dueling parents

we rate the pains of others

but because I mean I can not cry for

that but it is a clear nonsense

obviously my pain is incomparable but

we do not put ourselves in the other’s place

favor

the other is suffering for him or for

she that pain is intense and month or only

and he does not know what to do

needs to be heard look at any

pain that a human being faces but

romea internally is not capable of

take it out

we need to put words to pain and

We need a hand you hear us

ear

here next to me a hug I do not need

more than that

of my friends I need a hug to

someone who goes to the supermarket with my

that can bring something rich to the house

understand turn off the light of the case not

There is more life , everything is over

I do not care about anything when I wake up

I think why I ‘m not sleeping, I’m not

I want

wake up I want to be stunned all the

day well in teens the stage

of adolescence is very complicated

because it turns out that they are leaving

back the parents of childhood

it is not that they are rebellious with us

is that they really see us in another way

with our defects they no longer see us as

supermen or superwomen the

supermamá that the most beautiful in the world

the miss universe see us as we are and

then to those young people there are also

to tell you that many of them to me

have said susana I put an end to

my life because why am I going to continue

studying forcing to see how of my

brother who brought the woman in

notebooks studying all day if you

I died here I’m going to do it I’m going to

Keep studying

my life is over I want to tell you

these young people who have suffered

very much because the brothers share

all the secrets of the family

nobody knows more what happens in a

family that brothers and secrets

among them they do not share even with

parents

so for a brother the loss

of another brother is something brutal and

incomprehensible remain orphans

also that of being a hand perhaps with the

who slept in the same room with the

they were going to the young party phil that

young people went out together many times

the studies leave us quite aside

it gets looser

they lock themselves in the piece they put on the

computer

you have to leave them each of the

members of the family is trying to

survive and for that it elaborates its own

strategy

nobody is going to mourn how I do

me because the duel is unique and

untransferable

I can not mourn like the other

and the other will never be like me nor

I can criticize for you, cry a lot for

why are you crying a little because you do not want to see

the photo when I was born

because you want to go out to a party

but how do you think without pain?

it fits the pleasure

all that phrase do not help do not help in

nothing does not contribute they know what helps

tell that son

let’s walk and not fill the silence

with words you do not need to fill the

silence that I can tell you if I am what

that he is living and suddenly

is going to talk to me or is he going to want to tell me

something but what we should not do in a

family is to deny that this happened

to realize that nothing happened here

how many families later have

repented well to the young people there are

have patience with them the same patience

that they have to have with oneself and with

the couple or with the children as I say

the grieving processes are hard hard

It is long

everyone does it is like to see how they

can explain is how to get off fast

and I in a canoe in my husband no other

the children go in another

we are trying to survive from

Suddenly, I took a deep breath and hit me.

on a rock we do not see for ribadeo

black

suddenly I suddenly find ourselves

we found like this is

the duel is not linear

they are cycles have waves suddenly

I’m fine and I breathe suddenly I’m

bad or world but it’s like that but I love him

say one thing so you do not fool them

in which they advanced not backs down

the worst was the moment I knew

that my son I was not going to go back to

see him alive in this life and survive what

another please do not tell the parents

If what had happened to me had happened to me

happened to you I would be dead because

I’m trying to survive and I’m a

res judicata and we are parents with courage

because we are amputees

of soul our pain is not

I walk on the street like anyone

of you

each one has his cross and I am

trying to carry my cross as a

sculpture not like a stone

let me mourn my son and let me

not be bitter in my pain parents there

only two ways to get out on this or

you stay there stopped in time

oxidizing you like in an armor or you

you decide to try it and take the path that

It is difficult but it is the way of love

because when we have achieved the

resolution of the true adaptation to

this new reality and to relocate that

son who left in my inner world

I can love again the love

in the only thing in life that is worth

and yes to life because life is beautiful

I thank you that God

bless all parents that all

days in chile

five young people die every day in

traffic accidents

every day we fight so that

happen let’s not be afraid of life is

fragile but let’s fight because it’s worth

sorry, thank you very much

[Applause]
