This week's "Doa a Quem Doer" program presented the testimony of Susana Oliveira, mother of Diogo Silva, a 28-year-old who was killed with five gunshots in March 2024, in the Bairro de Ramalde. Susana shared her story of loss and grief, revealing how she copes with the pain of having lost her son.
Diogo Silva was 28 years old when he was executed with five gunshots in Bairro de Ramalde. The young man was murdered in early 2024, at a time when not all the circumstances or those responsible for the crime had yet been identified.
Susana Oliveira keeps an audio message from her son as a way of dealing with the pain of loss. In the message, Diogo tells his mother "Amo-te muito, estou com saudades" (I love you very much, I miss you), words that have become a form of comfort and connection with the memory of her murdered son.
Susana's testimony was shared on the "Doa a Quem Doer" program, which gives a voice to people who have been through situations of loss and violence, seeking to help society understand the impact of these crimes on the families of victims.
