In 2019, Lara Fabian
lost the woman of his life: his mother, Maria Luisa Serio. She had been suffering for many years from a neurodegenerative patient who was at an advanced stage. This Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at the microphone of Sandrine Dans Bel RTL
the 54-year-old singer returned to this terrible disappearance to encourage people whose loved ones are affected by this illness to talk about it.
“I lost my mother to a complex, neurodegenerative, very very serious illness called: Lewy body dementia”she told the journalist before specifying that it is a “mixture between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s”, coupled with extremely violent hallucinations. A sickness “progressive and seesaw”. “That is to say that sometimes the person can come back, remember, very very surreptitiously, what is around them. And then behind them they disappear completely”gives as an example Lara Fabian.

Why did Lara Fabian want to talk about it?
The artist also dedicated a song to his mother with its title Oblivion. A piece that she dedicated to him and a clip where “she appears for the last time.” “And if I wanted to break the silence about that, I wanted to talk about it because it’s a stage in my life. It’s because that too allowed me to be extremely resilient”continued the one who upset Pierre at the star Academy
.
By his speech, Lara Fabian asks people affected directly or indirectly by this disease to “ask for help”. “Just because someone is losing their mind next to us doesn’t mean we should be ashamed and humiliated.”she insists before ensuring that there is no “nothing humiliating about illness”. She recalls that this must “humanize us even more” especially since there are a lot of people who are “ready to help us extend poles, who have tools to help us cross when someone loses the map”.
