On that occasion the pressures of denial of the loss, present in the whole family group, became evident; pressures that concreted themselves in the difficulty for numerous relatives in the maternal branch (including Mr. A's mother) of the awareness of the occurred death, insomuch that the repeated illusions that the corpse opened its eyes or breathed made it necessary that two doctors confirmed the death.
Anni dopo questi eventi la madre del sig. A che aveva per tutta la vita manifestato una dipendenza quasi simbiotica dalla propria madre la perse per un tumore maligno.
