Falling asleep seemed to him to be “a final touch” to his life that “not even in a Hollywood film,” said La Vigonaise. Laura Fernández Abaldé in a video shared on its social networks by the association Right to die with dignity.
Laura suffered from terminal cancer and requested euthanasia on October 29; His insistence and his fight against “the bureaucratic obstacles” of the Galician Health Service succeeded in authorizing his euthanasia in half the planned time.
As the association reports, he has “bid goodbye to life” since room 705 from the palliative department of Meixoeiro hospital, surrounded by her family and the medical team.
“I didn’t expect the end of life as pretty as that“, expressed the Galician in the video. Activist of the neighborhood movement of Vigo, he died in 67 years old and he assured that he had faced the end without fear: “It will be like a total anesthesia, a happy death.”
Our colleague Laura Fernández Abalde managed to “die well” as she wished, surrounded by her loved ones and singing “thanks to life”.
You were an example to the end.
Thank you very much Laura 😘 pic.twitter.com/MoQJrM69vc
