Elena Santarelli talks about her sick son via social media: "A punch in the stomach"
Elena Santarelli, 36, almost a month later breaks the silence via social media to tell the difficult moment that her family is going through. She and her husband, former footballer Bernardo Corradi, had to deal with the greatest fear of a parent: the illness of their 8-year-old son Giacomo (the two are also parents of Greta, one).
On November 30th it is as if my husband and I had received a punch in the stomach without warning, a punch so strong that it takes your breath away and freezes your body instantly. I have always thought that when you become mom or dad you are automatically powerless, in the sense that you can never protect your children from everything and everyone, that sooner or later mum and dad feel disarmed, and so this thought materialized that evening. , a diagnosis that a parent would never want to hear from doctors but with which we had to get used to it, I don't want to go into details but I just want to say thanks to many people, starting with Dr. Marras and all his team, to Dr. Angela Mastronuzzi (for us she became only "Angela") to the whole group of nurses of the infant Jesus who lovingly followed us, to our pediatrician and friend Prof. Luigi Giannini, to dr. Savastano who sensed together with my maternal instinct that it was necessary to go to the bottom, to all my family and that of my husband, to our friends who have always given us words of comfort and love even when I did not want to hear from anyone and vented all my my anger against everything and everyone, to all the mothers I met in that ward, here is just you maybe you really understood how I felt and how I feel because like me you are going through it ... thanks also to Greta who unknowingly every day he snatched some smiles from us that for a few moments made us fly away with our minds ... if I forgot someone important, know that you are all in our hearts, that we will all do this battle together and we will surely win! Positive energy generates positive energy and I want to promise you Angela that together we will create the playroom in the ward. As Benigni said "life is beautiful - life is beautiful" and as such, it must be lived slowly returning to normal without fear, easier said than done but it must be so even if fear takes over. http://www.progettoheal.com/ http://www.ilmondodimatteo.com/ https://www.iragazzidellaluce.org/ if you want to make yourself a gift ❤️ #thanks

"To all the sites that resume my post by adding phrases" Santarelli's son seriously ill "I want to tell you that I do not have the words to describe you, I have not gone into detail about our problem. Like thousands of other families we have a problem to solve and we will solve it, my son is beautiful strong and sunny as always and we parents are the first to look at him as a normal child, we do not look at him with the eyes of the "sick", so if you can try to respect 360 degrees and use words appropriate, thank you!
