Eleonora Bolzan, during several months of fighting the disease, wanted to share her thoughts and state of mind also on the web
The pain of a life taken away at a young age, especially by an illness as cursed as it is difficult to deal with, is always immense. “It’s just a matter of time and waiting. It is unpredictable and difficult to be truly prepared”, these are the words of Eleonora Bolzan27 years old, from Gaggio, a hamlet of Marcon (Venice).
The young woman had described her battle with leukemia, had also done so thanks to the newsletter “Living with Leukemia”. Last Wednesday, unfortunately, Eleonora Bolzan died at the Angelo hospital in Mestre due to acute myeloid leukemia, diagnosed only about a year ago. Three months ago, on her social networks, she wrote about her courageous and painful struggle:
My life stopped on June 1, 2023. Serious illnesses always seem to happen to others. In June 2023, I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a blood disease in which the white blood cells produced in the bone marrow do not mature enough to be functional in the body.
Eleonora Bolzan leaves her mother Lucia, her father Alessandro, her sister Alessia, her partner Mahmoud, an entire family who has always supported her and numerous friends and acquaintances. THE funerals they will be held on Tuesday 4 June, at 11am, in the church of San Bartolomeo Apostolo in Gaggio.
The family has made a public invitation to do anything donations to the Italian Association against Leukemia-Lymphoma and Myeloma. There would be no better way to honor her best than to help other people in her own struggle.
Eleonora Bolzan, during several months of fighting leukemia, wanted to share her thoughts and her state of mind also on the web, creating a space for friends, acquaintances and simple users where she told her experience. “I would like to make people who, like me, experience this great uncertainty feel less alone,” she wrote. Readers followed her via a newsletter who now, unfortunately, will no longer send any of his letters, any of his reflections.
I want to leave some sort of legacy that goes beyond my private diaries. I could have written and finished a book if I had started earlier. Unfortunately, I’m a procrastinator and was hoping to have time in the indefinite future to start taking things slowly, when I was better. I don’t think my life is any more interesting than yours, but while I’m at it, I’ll talk about it.
