The pain of losing her mother
Just a year has passed since Anna Tatangelo endured the great pain of losing her mother, Palmira, who had long tried to alleviate her suffering caused by the cancer that she suffered from five years before her death. Trying to hold back tears, the singer shares how heartbreaking the last few months of her mother’s life were for her and how she tried to stay by her side as much as possible during her illness:
I always tried to smile even though I was suffering inside. In that hospital room, I acted as if what was happening was temporary. I wanted to give her courage and strength. The last few years have had a huge impact on me and everything has changed my life forever. Now more than ever, I want to emphasize the importance of prevention because it can save lives.
The presenter, who had suffered the same ordeal, therefore showed great sympathy for her guest, with whom she exchanged a warm hug, and then asked her how things had developed in her family in the last few months. The singer then said: “My father built a new life for himself after his mother died. I’m not one to judge. I hope he’s happy, I’m looking for my time to metabolize“.
