At 49, Églantine Éméyé has to face the worst ordeal that can happen to a parent: losing her child. This Monday, February 20, 2023, the actress took to Instagram to announce the death of Samy, her 17-year-old son. “Tonight, at midnight, my little angel, my toothbrush thief, my little lion with such a sweet look, flew to the stars, after 13 days of struggle” she said.
“I have no more words… only immense pain, and the infinite love I have for him “My Samychou, I love you… forever. Your mama is heartbroken, but she knows you’ll never hurt again” she added to talk about her son who, in addition to suffering from severe autism, had multiple disabilities. For several days, the 17-year-old young man had been placed in a specialized structure located in the Var, the same where it had been placed during the 2020 lockdown.
“I’ll throw it out the window and kill myself afterwards”
We remember that three years ago, the host had to stay away from her son, placed in this structure, 900km from his home. “I will not see my disabled son again soon, confined far from me. Hard for both of them but even more so for him who does not understand. A month already separated. But we all have our reasons for being at the end of it. Let’s stick together . All together. Courage. We must hold on” she lamented the day after Emmanuel Macron’s speech, announcing the confinement.
For years, the former model had regularly indulged in her difficult daily life as a mother with a seriously ill child. “I sometimes help parents who are in dramatic situations and who call on my association for help. They are in situations similar to those I experienced and who say that they can’t take it anymore and that if we leave it like that, they will come to ends like that“she said on the set of the show”C to you“in October 2022. “I confess to you that I happened to think about it. To say to myself: ‘I’m about to break down. I’m going to throw it out the window and kill myself afterwards. VSThese are things that we obviously don’t dare to saybut here we are, we crack.“. President of the association “Un pas vers la vie”, Églantine Éméyé has received the support of hundreds of subscribers on Instagram.
