Early, accidental and tragic death imposes the reality of life on us. At all of this, we are indignant, horrified and embittered by our existence and the non-existence of those who are gone. In contradiction to all the sadness of leaving, we become aware that love, solidarity and the sweetness of gestures are more valid than our human miseries. Thus, life forces us to continue, we move forward and start to see the world, people and things from a new angle. Which, strangely enough, is always scary, since in the face of death we always seek the best of humanity in ourselves, we want to be better, better friends, better lovers, better companions, better parents, better in everything we already tried to be good at. We start to finger the details and appreciate them with the fortune that they should be perceived...
