In the letter, just over a page long, the young woman’s mother not only addressed the pain of the loss and extended her support to the senders, but also listed 10 reflections on topics ranging from the normalization of violence even empathy and even gratitude.
“There are no words to describe the pain and helplessness we are feeling right now. No person, but especially you who are beginning to live, should bear a penalty like this“, Céspedes began in the letter.
He continued: “They took a wonderful friend from them, but they also took away their peace of mind, confidence and joy. They taught them that there was evil in the world – even in their close circle – and life will never be the same again.”
Ana María Serrano’s mother invited her daughter’s loved ones to take into account 10 considerations. The first revolves around the idea that “there is no such thing.”

“Under no circumstances should you blame yourself or feel responsible for having been able to do something to prevent the death of Ana María,” the letter reads.
In the second instance, Céspedes made a call to not normalize violence, whether physical, verbal or psychological, and to raise your voice in the face of injustice.
As a fourth reflection, he invited the young woman’s friends to believe in their instincts and, if necessary, seek help. Related to the above, he highlighted the importance of communication with parents. “No one loves them more than them and they will surely be able to find a solution to any problem together,” he wrote.
In her list, María Ximena also made space to meditate on the expression of feelings, empathy and compassion with the environment, love and friendship, the fight for dreams and, of course, gratitude.
