Luigina Brustolin died last February 7th at the San Camillo hospital in Treviso. She was 60 years old, but it can be said that she lived only 27 of her life to the full .
It was May 23, 1992 and she was 27 years old when she was involved in a serious car accident along the Feltrina, in Prederobba, in the Treviso area. Her two-year-old daughter was in the car with her. The little girl died after a few days, she entered an irreversible coma from which she never emerged, except last February 7.
The woman was taken to the hospital with a head injury, which left her life forever suspended in limbo. Her mother Maria cared for her for 17 years, when the latter died Luigina Brustolin ended up at the Onigo charitable works service center and on February 1, following the worsening of her conditions, she was taken to San Camillo in Treviso, where she died.
There was no shortage of criticism of the woman's family on social media: many wrote that it was criminal to make her suffer for so long .
"At the beginning - explains her brother Loris to Corriere - the coma was deep, then she became alert. She was breathing on her own and if someone fed her she would also swallow the food , except for the last times when she got worse because of the pneumonia. Every now and then she would open her eyes and look at us, we don't know if she really looked at us and no doctor went so far as to say that there was a contact, that she understood".
Sister Mara: "You have to experience certain things firsthand. If life puts you in front of a test like that, you can only handle it with your own strength and with what this country offers you. To those who say it would have been better if she had died immediately, I say yes. So? What do you do? Who will answer this question for me? Should we have killed her? "
Her husband started a new life and had two children, "even if it didn't go well for some of them." But, she recalls, "on Saturdays and Sundays I brought her to my house, for my children she was simply Aunt Luigina. The last time I saw her was a month ago."
