Academia Paraibana de Letras publishes memoir on grief and motherhood

A personal memoir published by the Academia Paraibana de Letras reflects on the passing of a mother and the emotional journey of grief. The author describes the final moments in the hospital, recalling a silent, lingering gaze and a final blessing.

The narrative follows the funeral procession to the city of Arara and the subsequent service at the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Piedade. The text serves as a meditation on memory, the bond between mother and child, and the quiet moments of farewell.
