GUÉRIR DE LA MORT | Jean-Marie Lapointe | TEDxLaval


ah it’s good it’s good sense you read the
palpitations the stress the nervousness to
I had time to meet some
people before and then it also helps to
put me in the bath we speak
precisely link anchor but the links and
the anchors have all been weak already
with some people loot it’s
an honor for me to be here tonight
and already to be inhabited and already to be
inhabited by a beautiful emotion who who
I live every time I have
the opportunity to share
if there are extraordinarily powerful
and who survive the death of a loved one
I suggest you laugh at reading this
quote there that says opens the door of the
pair behind stands where is hiding the
healing
we all share we will have
other
but I hope my little one shares this
evening you give yourself both the courage
to watch your peers in the face and
to release you from it
it can be even better to you in
serve for maybe accompanied
other people who will live departure
similar the part I’m doing
facing that moment of my life there is
many years is the fear of seeing
my mother die and the fear of losing my
mother that will introduce her marie marie
foal who died at 49 years of age
disease called alcoholism
for those who know me
you may know my father jean
lapointe jean lapointe who suffered
of alcoholism and who even gave his name
to a foundation at a house to help
other alcohols and like him it’s
rather ironic to see an hour a
wife his mother die slowly
of an illness that could have killed my
father and my father as a cat of
many lives are is still out
always bounced back after if relapsed but
not my hand and attend a slow
drowning a slow agony a slow death
from a close person like your mother
it’s appalling
we live a lot of impotence every
members of my family and I
live from helplessness
and then at the same time I’m 26 years old
moment and I see my mother quietly
was going towards death having a
party unless seen and do
do not accept that in total denial and
who does not want to see it but there is a
other part of me is the little jeans
marry who does not want to lose his mother who
does not want her to give up rejected
in this duality there all along the
last months and last weeks
of my mother’s life and at her entrance
ultimate last to the hospital
it can be very, very, very long
days when we had to go to the obvious
that mom was going to die
but there is something in me that does not
do not accept that he did not want the
see and I could not even imagine my
life without my mother it was a big part
arrive the last hours of life
from my hand I am at his bedside j my
girlfriend of the time and introduced ya ma
sister maryse my older sister that he is
we see my mother who starts to stop
to breathe
she is doing apnea if you already have
accompany someone in death you
know what it is when a person
stop breathing for a few minutes
seconds and for the repaired breathing
but I tell you that every time my
mother stopped breathing me I thought
that me
love and so I shake his
hand and I remember even saying it
no dad I’m not ready and does it
ride there several times to stop
to take a breath
moment when there is a nurse who
enter the room and come
we whisper to the ear should
maybe call your daddy pivot that
because it smells like fries now 20
leaving and I accept them
no worse than that I panic at the thought of
see mom dies each time that at the
reality me I used this
moment there to get out of the leg
my sister is unfortunately my girlfriend and here I am
say oh – mother of my rest all alone if
she has to die but at least is not
all alone I went to get my
father emissaries so what are you
think they will happen to you if I am
party mom is gone if I came back
an hour later with my dad
emissary and returning to the room
I saw the inert body of my mother and
I still believe that it is possible
that she is not dead but no she
is deceased
and here I am telling you the death of a loved it
hurts it hurts physically
hurts the survivors is so
I felt an invisible hand
come tear me some of the heart and
it was brutal as gilles pain
cried dumas I even screamed the days
have spent the weeks the months and I
see again in my head the image of my
hand on his dead bed that there is some
something that disconnects a little bit in
my head I say to myself ah but it’s my hand
if his body but it’s not my hand so
what makes mom exist
a few seconds before the site anymore
Mom, but you know what the soul is
once you mark what you see
somewhere so I started to
ask about life after death
just recently brought to me
to question so much that I read full
of books on it and I also felt
a momentum to live in
End-of-life support for
children and adolescents
several years later and it looks like
that the death of my mother had opened my
eyes you may know the
quote it’s death close the eyes of the
dying but open this alive then
I have eyes that have opened
great on life I started with
the body the camp with saint justine
with decor ips formations take
training to accompany
kids teens and I have
accompanied anyway several wells
is still an aside because who
accompany that he excuses me but reading
wife accompanies today so I have
maybe accompanied by children but
the agreements they are still a month are
very present – and there are some of these
kids there and these teenagers who got me
deeply marked but just before
introduce you to this boy there ever
I had the opportunity to accompany
someone to the end until the end
until his last breath
never happened to me and then confesses that
if the chance that makes you do in
the room of a child or a person
then when these people go
to die it’s not the bear explains the
mommy either left smoking darby of rené he
finally died during that time then
me of all the children I had
accompanied never had I been taken during
the moment of dying and that brings me to
tell you about the oracle the rap they have
19 years old I met at the time that
I co animate the telethon of the stars or
the telethon of research on
infantile diseases
I had an interview with laurent
with his family with his friends we had
portrays all the animators and
the animators at that time we
was twinned with a person
this year I was asked 70th ‘
to accompany laurent and make a
interview with him and that so
click with the family of laurent with
laurent himself that even the performance
request
I would like it to be with me until
After it’s all a gift well together
time it scared me because
until the end it means to see
someone to die is the last
no one I had seen die before
me it was my mother is so
I had panicked that I was out of the
room I could not stay then
the horror I see it for a few
weeks following the telethon of the stars
have created a beautiful bond and the day before its
latest arrival this last entry
in the hospital the parents call me for
tell me we go back laurent and see
need you tomorrow because it’s his
last trip to the hospital and laurens
the water just to draw you the portrait
the symbol man there who to vehicles to
100 at the bhl he lived intensely
he’s the one who knows the shots
the hospital is he who told me I
want chemo no I do not want chemo
I want the West and I
go to hawaii and with my family and me
I will be able to make guts
there then you my partner is there
in it’s him who was the leader
orchestra of his life and even the
frisky cowboys lyon writes a song
it’s one of his favorite bands
and if the head high so you go
do a little research on google the
head held high
the dashing cowboys and site their
let’s go by and just remember the song
and part of the song that says I
all overcome the head down
but if I go back down the hill it’ll be
head of these Lorraine all let go then
I arrive home at the end of the day
I get phone actually it’s
parents of laura sylvain unicode
to tell me we need you have we have
need you come join us at
the hospital it’s pressing it’s the end then
I have got into the car I live
near hospital saint-justine but
like a zombie like on the pilot
automatic
I go home to my holy and Justine
I have panic I have anxiety that
he’s not playing well but I have
promised to laurent laurent asked me
to be until the end I know my promise
so I go back to the hospital I see myself
to walk slowly one step at a time I
towards
the elevator I go up to the second where the
them in his room and I arrive
the doors open which I see happen
nicole the mother of laurent and who
come wood looking at me in the
eyes and after both his hands am the
hands on the shoulders like saturday
jean-marie we need you laurent
go away it’s you the professional it’s
you who accompany children there we have
need you me I’m trying to
to do in my panties
I want to leave I panic I anguish and
I do not know what I’m doing here
I feel like an impostor
I say to myself are crazy to leave me with
Laurence has no sense but listens
I’m nicole she’s heading to the
son’s room she does not forget
less big and I see laurent extended
on his bed
I see it is geneviève meeting him
holds the hand sitting on the corner of the bed
I see the grandparents of Lorraine
in withdrawal I see if you are so
the nurse of their pen who who who
which ended me all who accompanies the
all the family and there for months
I ‘m gibbard I’m not going to go to
level of this sentence opens them the
door of the pair of backs stands the
healing then his door opened and
at reavie lodges vola but I see everything
the world and I feel the tension
obviously a family that will lose
their son then forgotten so that in addition
laurent a younger brother than another
cancer some time before melo him
he’s fine he’s in remission
then the Lyonnais who is in the process of
to die if he then sprouted stage I
look at the scene and I see the rat
what do you think they think
he’s doing apnea like mom he
begin to breathe experts and there that
stop
I panic everyone panic
especially geneviève geneviève the evening and
night of art she is sitting on the
corner
learn there but from there there is the sa
fanfare
I see the shoulders go up so much
that panic I panic
geneviève panic but let go of
what I forgot my panic
I did not even do it on purpose
did it alone and I focused
winter
geneviève who needed me then
I got there I got up and I
put both my hands on the shoulders of
geneviève who was the little one who was
in panic and I flatter the back like
we flatter the back of a child who comes
to make a nightmare said no violent
I just 7 on everything gently he felt
pretty shoulders drawing i have
felt his breathing picks up and I
as I took my breathing was
looked at laurent and took them back to our
expired inspiration
a few seconds they resume other
breathing hope my Latin
look there we are hanged on his breath
the flag blower it was so
the nurse looks at them teaches them
vital signs the look so laurent
part slowly like that with the
departure of laurent left my part I
I have never been afraid and I have
accompanied by teenage children
who are my to the end and I have
never never have I never panicked
did not spread
what a beautiful gift to what their reserves
and that asked me to accompany him
until the end is what had happened
an intuition
when asks me from the company that
offered me this gift I’ll never know
on the other hand, I am eternally
thankful
in value is opening the door of the
fear behind hides healing
in some cases fear is you who
will open the door of fear it’s you
that will go in the door here
fucked up sometimes is someone
else who will open it for twente
then once the door is open
there are people who are going to be pushed from
force like a parachute jump Monday
inspectors of the times he told me stop
to glander so but there are people who
are going to have the delicacy the
kindness to feel your fear of you
take by the hand and brought to
cross by looking at you this paid post
with me to his alone who had to clearly
did he accompany me to the well
for me to be here for you tonight
pay tribute to lorin to make it
eternal
it’s a nice gift that I make him
a speaking about him and transposed me
it’s my wish I wish you to
transpose this story is from you
to say that next time I’m scared I
watch it in the vapor phase
then I wish you a magnificent
healing is a beautiful evening thank you
your attention he thank you for having me
welcomed in my emotions in my
vulnerability which is also now
made a force
thank you wrong
