Registry Deeds Lawrence Ma

A book, a meeting, two associations that work in synergy, three women involved in palliative care



We want to continue to tell the interesting meeting with Dr. Lisa Galli , you nutosi at the Library of Borgonovo, last Friday. The meeting was organized by 'Association Paulo Parra for Research on terminality ART non-profit organization and the Association of Hospice Friends Borgonovo non-profit organization. Two groups of volunteers involved in palliative care who have decided to strengthen their partnership to strengthen the important work many of culture, information and training that take place in the area.

We want to understand what are the so palliative care, raising public awareness about the nature of the structures hospice palliative home care and assistance . Among the various initiatives that they see at times combined these two non-profit, in the afternoon with the author of the book When life changes color .


Itala Orlando, Project Manager of Hospice Borgonovo VT after explaining the work they do in the hospice Borgonovo, the first in the province of Piacenza, whose name A home for treatment palliative perfectly illustrates the spirit of professional and human hospice, presents Dr. Lisa Galli: "The author of this important work and psycho-oncology at the Division of Hematology, Policlinico di Modena and by the year helps the patients and their families cope with the psychological aspects of illness. "


The moderation of the evening is left to the expertise of Dr. Amanda Castle, founder of ' Paulo Parra Association for Research on terminality .


His first thought is the concept of time, once it escapes, once believed to have no more time is often wasted because it is believed that what remains is worth more. The underestimates the sick person, but also their loved ones. Galli asks Lisa to talk about it.


"It 's important to help the ill person to take possession of the time," says Lisa. "This time becomes a time regained. We, the professionals, we can help the patient, family and friends to rediscover a time I would call hidden. It 's the time that the patient could not have and now you can exploit. The disease appears to EP rmettere di vedere e progettare il futuro. Occorre partire dal presente per capire che comunq ue si può andare avanti e che si può credere in un domani.”

Itala Orlando, Lisa Galli e Amanda Castello

Le parole di Lisa fluiscono con professionalità e tenerezza. Ad ogni concetto Lisa associa degli esempi di vita quotidiana dei suoi malati e dei loro cari. Sono storie di vita che si snodano. Qui, non si parla di statistiche, ma di persone che hanno un nome, un’età, una storia. Lisa si intenerisce quando si sofferma su alcuni casi.

Le domande Amanda and his comments, sometimes full of passion, reflected the experience of a professional and a woman committed to fighting for years for the cause of palliative care.

's comments Itala rely on the battles that moved the hospice, on the need to make known his mission and the essential support of volunteers from the association.
Three women, three fighters for the defense of the patient's right not to suffer, to preserve his dignity, to live as a person until the end of his earthly existence.

Three women who capture the public's attention. The room is full. There people standing. The focus is sustained. The sun at the end of the day creates a magical atmosphere.




Lisa speaks of " resilience, which in psychology is defined as the ability to turn a critical event and destabilizing the point of departure for a successful reorganization of their lives. Develop means to discover a new way of being in the midst of chaos unleashed by sudden events, such as illness. Resilience is the ability to trace each time the boat of life. "Lisa Galli said that" we should teach our children this resilience, because we prepare them well to acquire a positive attitude to face life's challenges and be able to overcome them. "


Helping the patient to overcome these tests is painful task of well-trained professionals, convinced that their commitment can not be reduced to a technical report professional without human involvement.

Amanda Castle points out that in schools of nursing and medicine, it is recommended that future nurses and doctors to keep the famous "safe distance" which in practice is impossible and undesirable. The important thing is to accept to get involved in the report, but to find out. It is not possible, nor healthy, to confuse the roles. E 'fundamental empathize, but never identify the person that you have and want to help.

Lisa Galli agrees and explains that, as a psycho-oncologist, it loses its status of being a woman and mother, and that these different parts of her person can not be separated or eliminate but rather to enrich the relationship . Empathy is essential that everyone speak in the ratio of aid.


Lisa said, provoking many emotions in the audience, an episode in its third pregnancy. The case of a young ill, that due to the severity of his illness would not mai potuto sposarsi e diventare madre. Il pancione di Lisa era molto visibile. La ragazza chiese a Lisa se poteva toccare la sua pancia. Non aveva mai toccato la pancia di una donna in attesa. Lisa accettò e fu un momento di una comunicazione estremamente delicata ed unica che coinvolse la psico-oncologa e la giovane malata. Una comunicazione creatasi sul filo dell’essere donna che ha sviluppato un clima di fiducia tra due donne, una che stava per dare la vita e l’altra che la stava perdendo.

Itala Orlando interviene sottolineando il suo apprezzamento per la testimonianza portata, nella quale Itala si riconosce.

Lisa parla dei curanti, malati, familiari, nell’ambiente di cura
as nodes that make up a large fishing net.

says, "We are like nodes on a network, the networks that you see on fishing vessels: large, robust, in some parts of the meshes of the time wear loose, full of knots used to hold it together, tear-resistant of fish catch.


nodes all look the same, but in reality are different. Some seem indestructible, while others look at them and realize they need to be repaired, while others still, you wonder how long will resist all tangled currents of the sea. In the professional world, I live in the intertwining delle relazioni umane è simile a quella rete. Ogni persona è un “nodo e non c’è nodo, né persona che non sia fondamentale.”

Ricordiamo che il libro “ Quando la vita cambia colore – Reagire al dolore e alla malattia ” di Lisa Galli , è pubblicato da Mondadori e si trova in tutte le librerie.


Ve ne parleremo ancora prossimamente.
