The most painful decision made Emmanuel Moire and his family
The latter died on January 28, 2009, a fortnight after being hit by a driver, while Emmanuel Moire was finishing writing his album. After placing him in a coma, caregivers noticed after two weeks that “at the level of the brain, clinically, there was no longer anyone“They then placed Nicolas's family faced with the worst dilemma, namely to choose to keep him alive or not. “I remember being with my parents on each side, with the doctors (opposite), I have very clear images of that moment where I felt my parents completely helpless, and I was also in disarray“, said the ex-star of Sun King. In this moment of “violence“and of”pain“, “we decided to let him go“, explained Emmanuel Moire.
Emmanuel Moire talks about organ donation and mourning
The doctors then offered them organ donation to help patients awaiting transplants, which the artist accepted. When talking about this, the actor from Tomorrow Belongs to Us was overwhelmed by emotion: “I think it's nice that… Sorry… Qthat it helps someone else live better“. After removing his glasses and drying his tears, Emmanuel Moire made a confession: I never asked myself the question that I was a twin. It's when I lose it that I realize it. I felt like I had a part of me that no longer existed. There was a void. It was a long road to learn to live without my brother, and years later, to realize that it is not living without but living with, but differently. But it will remain… A great wound and a lot of suffering“. Today, despite everything, he is moving forward: “As long as I'm going through all this, I'm alive“.
