Very quickly, his eyes glaze over.
Nathalie, wearing glasses and winter boots, has just spoken this morning, in Cormeilles (Eure), to discuss the recent death of her father.
She was the one who accompanied him in his last moments, to the hospital.
He had chosen it.
In this small room near the church, where she does not yet know anyone, Nathalie struggles to repress her emotion.
“I’m here to try to see if I haven’t done too much stupidity,” she blurted out.
In this pretty town nestled in the middle of the Normandy countryside, the fifty-year-old came to the “Accompanying your loved one in death” workshop like around twenty participants, the vast majority of whom were women.
This meeting, created by a German doctor and offered in around twenty countries around the world based on the “first aid” model, has existed for a little over a year in France.
It is organized by the Dernier Secours association in partnership with Sfap (French Society for Support and Palliative Care).
