Account of a real death.

People in a family keep so many memories that they cherish in their minds and hearts but when they suffer the loss of one of their children, everything changes in their environment. They have so many things that they done together. When one of them physically disappears, everything is disturbed and habits change, because that person leaves a space that can’t be covered by anyone.

The stories of families where they have lost some of their members are very sad and difficult to narrate. This is my own way of relating the events.

Valerie is a girl who had wonderful parents and brother who loved her. They gave her to a husband who vowed to take care of her until death parted them and so it was… but not so exact.

Valerie and her husband Marco had great times together. But in time problems came part of which were financial and thanks to Marco's bad habits, to the point that they have to move into Marco's mother's house, because Valerie's parents lived in a different city. But Marco's mother is a difficult woman to handle; she changes her behavior very quickly and begins to despise Valerie. Valerie tells her parents that it is very difficult to live with her but she has no other way out.

Days go by and the parents are unable to locate Valerie. They call Valerie's husband because they cannot communicate with her and he tells them that they haven’t been living together for a week, weird. He also tells them that she has decided to go with another man.

Valerie's parents cannot understand what’s happening because Valery didn't tell them anything. When did this happen? They don’t completely believe Marco's story and so they call and report to the police. The police are told that they cannot communicate with their daughter and the search for Valerie begins. They tell the police that they don't know anything about their daughter’s current situation and they don’t believe the only thing the husband told them. I mean, if you leave your husband you don't talk to him but you do talk with your parents.

 The husband only said that Valerie left with another man and his mother affirms it. Valerie’s parents can’t simply accept that version because they know their daughter. They spread the news to various places and put up posters throughout the city. People end up communicating what they know about the girl.

Sadly, Valerie appears buried in her mother-in-law’s home, discovered by a police dog that was searching Valerie's mother-in-law's house. Who appeared buried with several things that were used to investigate, precisely in the courtyard of the house.

The husband says that she died of an overdose while using drugs. He did not want to say that to her parents so as not to distress them and decided to bury her in the courtyard of the house.

The coroner, when doing the autopsy on Valerie, informs the detectives that she has no trace of drugs on her body and instead she has two gunshot wounds, one on the head and one on the neck. Investigators make their inquiries and discover the gun in Marco's mother's house and that said gun is to his name.

Valerie's husband is a drug addict and she, tired of him, tells him that she is leaving him and he cannot bear it. He goes to his room looking for his gun and while she tries to get in the car, he shoots her from behind. She didn't even realize that he pointed the gun at her and fired without hesitation.

At the trial, he didn't even say he was sorry, he just kept saying that it was one thing or the other, that this other thing had happened, he was rambling; drugs no longer allowed him to live in reality.

Meanwhile, Valerie's parents think that if she had told them about the situation she was experiencing, she would still be alive. It has not been easy for both her parents and her brother to live with the memory of a daughter who was so loved. And to think that she was living in hell and never told them what kind of life she was leading.

She was a woman taught to be happy who lived with her parents and brother the best years of her entire life, she fell in love and married without knowing that her husband used drugs. Their economy collapsed and they had to move to her mother-in-law, who gave her no truce. She always reproached her for everything she did, while she supported her son with his drugs.

It’s sad for parents who raised their daughter with such love to have handed her over to a drug addicted psychopath, without realizing that their daughter did not have a good time in her last years of life.

It must have been difficult for Valerie to try to be happy as she was used to in her family and to find in this other family so much pain. She tried to be happy while she could, but neither her husband nor her mother-in-law would let her.
