Facing the loss of sister and brother within a year, Blerina Gjylameti: The

Socialist Party MP Blerina Gjylameti was invited today in the column "My Half", to Albanian Sunday, where she spoke about her personal life and her profile beyond politics.

For the first time, Gjylameti commented on how she experienced the loss of her brother and sister within a very short period of time, less than a year, both at a young age, 37 and 45 years old, respectively.

Gjylameti said that the two tragedies that came one after the other made her go through the worst period of her life, while she also had a very strong emotional connection with her sister and brother.

Excerpts from the conversation with Ardit Gjebrean:

Ardit Gjebrea: Unfortunately you have also experienced difficult moments in life. In the span of a year you have lost both brother and sister, how has this affected you?

Blerina Gjylameti : Every time you lose a life, when it is far away it starts and reflects, when it happens to your loved ones, people who in my sister's case I had away like any Albanian family that are scattered all over the world . There was a loss of life in a very short time, when I found him rejuvenated nearby, when while he lost his life, the same thing with my brother.

Ardit Gjebrea: Did your sister live in Greece?

Blerina Gjylameti: She lived in Greece, has two wonderful sons, Angelo and Orestes and in a very short period she lost her life from an incurable disease. Being a strong physicist, he had not understood what was happening to him. Meanwhile with my brother the same thing happened, it happened in a very short period, on the 45th anniversary of her birth, where he lost his life.

Ardit Gjebrea: How old was the brother?

Blerina Gjylameti: My brother was 37 years old and I had a very strong relationship with my brother, I had him as my son more than my brother. I took care of her endlessly, she was the little one, I was the third girl. For me and for Costa he has been the right hand in everything and meanwhile we for him the same. When that happened to my brother, the world really turned me upside down, with my sister I found the strength because thinking that I should be strong for her children and for the fact that I would become a mother to them, especially to Orestes who was in a very difficult moment and was a teenager. When it happened to my brother the world turned me upside down.

I did not know where to cling to move forward, but on the other hand I am strong in nature and have always thought you have to be strong. If before I had a commitment to some things that seemed secondary to me, but while I had the same commitment, now I have started to look at every moment of the day how I can spend it with the people I love and they love me because in the end I understand that life it is so very short and the moments you can spend with it, you may miss one day.
