Claudia Galanti recalls her daughter’s death and years of grief
Claudia Galanti spoke on Italian TV show Verissimo about the death of her daughter Indila.
Indila died at nine months old in 2014 while Galanti was away, and the child was with her father, Arnaud Mimran, in Paris.
Galanti said she learned of the death by phone and was restrained in her seat on the flight to Paris because she could not control her distress.
She said a blood test later identified a bacterial infection, which had not been recognized because Indila did not have a fever.
Galanti described years of grief and said she turned to alcohol to cope with the pain.
She later sought help from a specialist, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress, and began therapy that she said gradually helped her.

What people are saying
It is a pain that will never pass; I have learned to live with it.
They told me, ‘Your daughter is dead, you have to get here quickly.’
They put me on a direct flight to Paris, but I was tied to the seat.
I took refuge in alcohol. I calmed my mind and my pain with wine.
