Recently Lara released a video of "L'Oubli," a song from her last CD. With this video she has shared the sad secret that her mother, Luisa, has dementia with lewy bodies, a neurodegenerative disease.
This is the translated message that Lara left on her face book page:
"When one of our loved ones is subject to a neurodegenerative disease, the loving look we put upon him or her, upon our family, is the strongest thing that remains.
Even in the most violent tempest, submerged by sadness and loss. even when words are failing… this loving look makes a difference.
Today, I testify, to free those of us who live this painful “voyage” from the mutism, the silence and the taboo, which prevent this look and this connection.
Today, my family and I, our hearts laid bare, testify by putting our look upon all those, who urgently need comfort, empathy and relief.
This is our testimony on “L’Oubli”
I’ve learned that one is never lonely, when the look of love is upon us…"
