With complete sincerity, the actor pointed out that both in the streets and in the networks, different people stop him to tell him about their pain and explained: “I felt a great responsibility to share. There maybe I find the answer to why. Generate bridges, relief, company…”.
Then he added that he hopes the book will also be helpful to people who don’t know how to accompany someone who suffered a loss. “They don’t do it clumsily, they do it because nobody teaches us how to approach and accompany someone who loses a loved one,” she said. “They are caresses, it is a symbolic hug through a book. In my case it is a way of materializing and giving a name and words to something that does not have them, that has no explanation”indicated.

And if this book can serve that and these people, ”she concluded.
