Marcela Tinayre was a guest on the show at Barbarossa (Telefe, at 9:30 am) and painfully recalled the death of Marco Gastaldidisappeared on 19 July 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and without being able to say goodbye to his family and friends.
It was not expected to talk about that subject, but when Georgina Barbarossa asked her about her love story, Mirtha Legrand’s daughter warned: “Tinder would never use it. I go out to eat with friends who are 52 or 53. They are not young, let’s not joke, here, yes, I go out and have fun. But now the 19th will be two years after Marcos’ death“.
The businessman and former banker suffered from Parkinson’s, had been hospitalized since September 2019, and pneumonia generated a complication in the picture that led to his death.
Marcos Gastaldi and Marcela Tinayre have been a couple for 20 years.
Still very affected by the loss of who has been her partner for 20 years (they separated in 2018, but never lost contact), the daughter of the Chiqui She recounted what the businessman’s last days were like and how difficult it was for her to cope with his physical disappearance.
“When there is an illness and you lose someone, accompany them and fire them. The pandemic took me and I could not fire anyone: not my best friend who died in my arms, not my aunt, nor my uncle, who were and are a united family. Not even Marcos, who turned him away from me and when he went to the hospital I never saw him again.. I got a permit to enter the cemetery by car. It’s very difficult, it was awful and I don’t even want to rememberMarcella said.
“Sometimes I wake up at night and say “how nice, I couldn’t fire him”. Also, Marcos was a very scary type of death. When he broke up, I was at the home of one of his children, who are like mine, because I’ve been with Marcos for 21 years. They tell me ‘the assistant called that dad who is not feeling very well’. I felt his breathing wasn’t right, “he said about that moment.
Tinayre, super moved to remember what Marcos Gastaldi told her before his death.
“When I got to his house there were two ambulances and I heard he was drowning, so I jumped on him and hugged him. He was saying something to me and I didn’t understand it. The doctor told me ‘ he’s out of oxygen, I have to take it ‘”, he continued.
Then he recounted a particular situation that he had never told of Gastaldi’s death and a letter that he left him: “What I’m about to tell is very beautiful and I am moved. I walked hand in hand with him until they left him in ambulance and I covered it because it was cold It was July 19th. He was going with his eyes closed and they tell me that I cannot get into the ambulance and when he is about to get into the ambulance he opened his eyes, looked at me and looked at the sky … “.
Gastaldi died in 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Meet a week, a note at home that said: ‘My love, before I die I look at you and I look at the sky’. Everything has been written. I saved him. Marcos was terrified of death. We took great care of him and well, he is dead, “she recalled through tears.
“It was all very moving, because no one could say goodbye to friends. Not ourselves. Not my family, not my children. Nacho (Viale) took me to the cemetery, where we went with Vale Gastaldi, Marquitos Gastaldi. It’s It was a horrible thing to see the drawer in the distance. Nobody knew anything in the middle of the pandemic. Not even that the dead weren’t contagious. Why couldn’t two or three people bury our dead? “he said, angrily.
Marcela Tinayre recalled what Marcos Gastaldi had told her before his death.
“Marcos takes the covid in the sanatorium. And he went in, I saw him go down, they took him from the other side because everyone took a lot of precautions. After a while I remember they take him down from the elevator and they say: ‘Do you want to greet?’ He spent seven days in the sanatorium, alone in intensive care. That day they bring us Marcos in a pharmacological coma, all wrapped in cellophane, with the stretcher. He was awful, “she continued, still visibly disappointed in that situation.
“And like me, many people have experienced it. I touch this topic very often for the pain. That’s why the outrage with the Olivos party and all. Why the indignation is not for staying at home, but for the thousands of people who have lost fathers, mothers, uncles, grandparents. We Argentines are family members and it was a great pain. It was awful for me. It’s curative to tell about it, “she said.
The death of her best friend, another blow in her life
Marcela Tinayre also spoke of the loss she suffered with the death of Sofia Neimandied on February 22, 2020 at the age of 71, in Punta del Este, while they were having dinner at Daniel Hadad’s home.
Marcela Tinayre with her son Nacho and Sofía Neiman.
“We were talking at dinner and suddenly I look at her and ask her, ‘Are you okay, Sofi? Why are you nervous?’ .
“He went out, took a breath, we sat down to eat and suddenly made a strange noise, the plate fell, I threw myself on it, I started giving her first aid, we threw her on the ground and well, she didn’t come out. I am the godmother of one of her children, it was great to tell the guys who were in Buenos Aires. And she too Sofi was like a mother to my children, because she was a friend of a lifetime “, she assured her, with nostalgia.
“My destiny is to be able to tell these things of terrible pain and mourn them in silence or here and do the catharsis. I have had great losses, my brother, my father, my uncle José, my aunt Goldie, who for mother (Mirtha Legrand) was extraordinary, “he concluded.
