Sala's sister remembers him with kind words

The pain of losing a loved one manifests itself in different ways. Some people close up, some people take longer to come to terms with the grief. The message that Romina Sala shared on Instagram suggested that she could finally put her feelings into words. Something that she had wanted to do for a long time after the death of her brother.

"It's hard for me to understand how you just left without warning. You, who had my heart and dedicated yourself to building it with your own love. And it is in that silence that I thank you for turning me into a swan every time I felt like the ugly duckling. Now, your absence has become a permanent presence. And your absent gaze becomes the indestructible foundation of my soul. And your abandonment abolishes the selfishness of my needs and transforms it into a forward journey of meeting", she began by saying.

"It's my turn to assume that your unconditional support can't bring you back. Of course it's hard for me. But I also know that you took it upon yourself to leave me a magic wand endowed with the best power I can have: love," she continued.

The message is full of hope, despite the pain. ""And here I am. Wafting magic dust in the air since I can. Looking forwards and not backwards. Knowing that the ladder of my life may stop for a while, but I will never walk backwards. Because you taught me to love myself. And you left me as a gift, the tools to be able, in your absence, to transform myself into that swan, simply remembering the way you did it with me," she shares.

In fact, there couldn't have been a better moral to the story: "And then that's where I believe that everything is capable of starting all over again. With love... With love..., Emiliano Sala".
