47 years of union until his death “in his arms”

Mayra Gomez Kemp cried, this Sunday, October 13, the hearts of all those who grew up with her in this emblematic One, two, three, answer again. The television legend died aged 76 at his home in Madrid, sudden waya few days after having undergone spectacular fall. Those who knew her say that she died sad and, above all, deeply alone.

Gómez Kemp’s life became gray and hopeless on January 18, 2021. On that day, life stopped for her. Forever. She was never the same again. His spirit grew sour: his hope of continuing to live lost its intensity. Alberto Berco, the man of her life, the person who accompanied her for 47 years, died suddenly at home.

At age 91, Berco’s heart broke beyond repair. “When he woke up he said to me ‘how well I slept!, I slept for several hours‘. “He hadn’t been able to sleep well for several days and he was very happy,” said Gómez Kemp, dejected and devastated. A few minutes after saying this, her husband “.he left“ taking off her pajamas to start a new day.

SO, without further delay. Mayra would never have imagined this her Albert”I was so close to death“. Since then, Mayra has been forced to live with loneliness, which, to make matters worse, the coronavirus has wickedly accentuated, as she admitted in a conversation with SPANISH.

Locked in her house, Mayra barely came out. She also didn’t like receiving excessive visitors, as her friend recalled this Sunday the 13th. Fedra Lorente (72) in Socialiston Telecinco. The presenter also did not have children with Alberto Berco.

“I am very alone“, she assured in February 2021 when this media contacted her to find out how she was and how she was going to spend her birthday that year, February 14. It was a doubly difficult date, for her first birthday without him and because he is Valentine’s Day. February 14 was very special for the weddingMayra told EL ESPAÑOL.

“I need cuddles“, she said in her interview with this medium. Gómez Kemp spoke of a different type of loneliness, despite having friends who cared about her: loneliness behind closed doors. The one that happens when the door to the house is closed.

“Listen, I’m going to tell something that I’ve never said. Alberto, for Valentine’s Day, loved to cook and he did it very well. Besides, he always told me that he would never give me of flowers, because they always end up dying. What he bought me were plants. I said I had a special hand for plants, I had a full room,” Mayra recalled in 2021.

“How quickly this day passes,” he finally lamented. Mayra was a strong woman and her later years she was trying to fight against a state of mind that constantly invited her to decadence.

Alberto Berco died in his arms of heart failure that he could not overcome. The actor was cremated, but his wife did not come at the funeral home to say a last goodbye, as devastated as she was after this hard and unexpected blow.

Kemp told EL ESPAÑOL that her husband’s daughters have been a great support to him, but they live in Buenos Aires and have not come to say a final goodbye to their father. The coronavirus prevented it. “He started to deteriorate little by little. His legs were failing and I helped him go to the toilet. Imagine me with 50 kilos carrying an almost 100 year old man, but I did it because I loved him,” Mayra said.

“I just want to ask a favor, from those who think they are praying for my husband. The love of my life is gone“, she declared on the day of her death. A hard blow for the communicator, who had her husband as a fundamental pillar of her life. “He didn’t realize he was leaving and that’s something that comforts me. It was when I saw how they took him away that I realized I would never see him again,” he added.

“God put Alberto in my life and it was a miracle of love. We made a great team in all aspects of life. We understood each other perfectly.”I heard what he did for me…”, he added. Mayra confessed several times how important Alberto was for her to face with strength and courage the tongue cancer she suffered in 2009as well as the sore throat he also suffered from in 2012.

“He never left me, he encouraged me with all his strength, both when I was diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2009 and with throat cancer three years later. Always together, supporting in the best and the worst,” he told a few. weeks ago. Diseases which, fortunately, he recovered shortly after. As a result of these major health problems, the actor suffered from depression from which he managed to recover thanks to the support of the presenter.
