Mourning for Carlotta Ferlito, her mother died from ALS

The former gymnast on social media: "The void you leave is inexpressible Mom, and no one will ever be able to fill it"

ROME – “The void you leave is inexpressible Mother, and no one will ever be able to fill it. As misunderstandable as it may sound, I am, we are relieved at the thought that your pain is over, because you didn’t deserve even an iota of it.” Mourning for Carlotta Ferlito: mother Roberta has died, after years of battle against ALS. The former gymnast made the announcement on social media. “Now our pain continues, mine, as if it hadn’t already consumed me enough, aware however that life gives so much and takes away so much, therefore it must be lived 100%. I will live – she continues – every day for you too, mother promised.”

In the long message Ferlito made a promise to your mother: “I will always take you on my adventures, in my life situations that seem taken from the most absurd of soap operas, in my travels, in my successes and why not, even in my failures. I jealously guard your life lessons, because as much as it almost annoyed me, you were always right, mother, always. I hope I have made you proud, if you leave a splendid and united family it’s only thanks to you.You will always be my guardian angel, like the one we got tattooed. I hope that the hole in my chest that I feel now can soon be transformed into your presence that accompanies me in this crazy and often cruel journey that we call life. I love you, bye Mamma Roby”, he concluded.

A few days ago, the champion from Catania had told on Instagram of the mother’s transfer to a hospice “a structure that will accompany her trying to make her suffer as little as possible. Her doctors felt that this was the best option for her, as we would not be able to help her at home if the situation became more complicated than it already was. For me, who lived the last two years of her illness 24 hours a day, it’s sad not to wake up with her every day, not to shout my ‘Good morning Doll!’ but above all knowing that he will never return home”, wrote Ferlito.
