After spending more than three decades in a coma as a result of a terrible vehicle accident on Christmas Eve in 1991, a grieving husband has confirmed that his wife has passed away.
Due to an accumulation of fluid in her lungs, Miriam Visintin, a patient from Riese, Veneto, passed away on May 10 at the San Bassiano hospital where she had been sent two months earlier.
Since being involved in an accident with her Fiat Panda on Christmas Eve 1991 in Casoni di Mussolente, Veneto, where she sustained an irreversible brain injury, she had remained in a coma.
After Miriam’s cardiac arrest death, her husband of 33 years, Angelo Farina, remarked: “She finally had peace for her injustice.” She is finally in paradise and serenity up there.
We had just been married for one and a half years when tragedy struck, he said. We had so many initiatives, and we were so young. She has been victimized by fate. She wasn’t due anything like this.
After suffering severe brain injuries in the 1991 collision, when Miriam’s automobile skidded off an icy road and slammed into a pole, she fell into a coma.
After getting married in 1990 and having first met at a disco in Mussolente a few years earlier, this would be the couple’s second Christmas together.
After the accident, doctors informed Angelo that his wife was not likely to make it through the night.
Sincere, he declared, “When I married her, I swore to stand by her through thick and thin.”
Initially, Miriam was sent to the La Madonnina residential facility for life-sustaining treatment.
Later, she was transported to the Casa Sturm, where she remained until a pleural effusion forced her to be transferred to San Bassiano.
Only during the epidemic, according to her husband, did he make an exception to his daily hospital visits, which were frequently multiple times per day.
I spent at least 15 minutes there each day during my lunch break. After the funeral on Saturday, he told La Repubblica, “Sometimes I managed to go even in the evening.
If I could go back, he declared, I would start over.
‘I determined straight away to be there next to her, forever, till the last of her days,’ Angelo told La Repubblica.
It was really challenging, he thought. Not a circumstance that is simple to accept. I was so filled with rage. Such a lovely, kind, and remarkable girl shouldn’t have gone out like that.
