Fjoralba Ponari shared one of her most personal accounts as she spoke about the pain left by the loss of her mother and the way she tries to live with her absence.
A heartfelt account of absence
During a television conversation, the presenter reflected on the weight left by losing a loved one, especially a mother. She described the experience as something that does not go away, but remains with a person in everyday life.
Ponari said she sees this pain “like a stone in the heart,” a burden with which each person learns to coexist in their own way.
“For a year, she didn’t appear in my dreams”
In her account, she said that for a long period she had not seen her mother even in her dreams. According to her, this lasted for almost a year.
Then, as she herself recounted, there came a moment when she saw her in a dream and experienced it as a kind of long-missed relief and reunion.
The words she says she had missed
The presenter said that in that experience she felt as though she also received those words that her heart had longed to hear from her mother.
She added that she would like this kind of “visit” to happen more often, although she acknowledged that it may simply be a fantasy of the mind or, as she put it herself, something more than that.
Fjoralba Ponari’s account drew attention to an experience familiar to many people: the silent and difficult way in which the absence of a parent continues to remain part of life.
In a few words, she described a pain that does not fade, but over time takes on another form within memory and longing.
