  • The Accabadora or ’Lady of Kind Death’ was a woman in Sardinian culture who performed an ancient form of euthanasia, an act of mercy for the terminally ill in order to put an end to their suffering. It was a ritual of Sardinian tradition with roots going back into the mists of time, but carried out as recently as the 1960s. Kept concealed and out of sight of the Roman Catholic culture that considered her a murderer, the Femmina Accabadora is a legendary figure - as alive in the popular mind as the vampires of Transylvania.
    In this film, we hear from eye witnesses who break the code of silence still in place to this day. We learn where and how they lived and how they were perceived by the community at large. We’ll see how the rite itself was carried out. An immersion inside a culture that is thousands of years old and a relationship with death that is as natural as life itself.
    Director: Fabrizio Galatea

    Sentivo mia madre malata terminale chiedere a Dio di tagliare quel debole filo che la teneva in vita..i suoi lamenti di notte,le urla,l ho vista sparire piano piano,condumarsi come una candela.Lucida fino all ultimo respiro.L ho vista fatta di morfina e lei odiava i farmaci . .per favore, attaccamento alla vita se la vita vale la pena di essere vissuta,se puoi alzarti dal letto,lavarti,uscire, mangiare,mettere la lavatrice, annaffiare le tue amate piante.Non è vita se soffri come una bestia.certo la morte fa fatica ad essere acettata ma a volte è segno di amore lasciare andare via chi ami.

    My grandfather was Sardinian, I was amazed and in awe at grandfathers mother how she helped to heal people with herbal remedies and and praying and massaging the affected area of the body. Persons receiving these treatments felt better. Now that a I am older , I feel these people are mystical , Sardinia is very mystical land and many people retain these arts since ancient days. Some call it pagan and that’s there option. When a person dying it is a detriment time between their God and themselves and I am not going to judge this. Been at my sister in laws house she decided to die at home it was a very hard to see her slip away from this mortal life and in pain. Only when you are witness to this you realize that we are powerless to change anything that was happening. She did die and you felt her peace no more pain . She now at the place she chose from this mortal life.

    Here in the UK the hospice my mother died in of throat cancer, they used the Liverpool pathway to end her suffering. Basically they removed all nourishment from her or water, kept her deeply sedated and semi conscious, until her heart gave out. To be honest, it was all horrific for me, as she lasted 10 days like this (they expected her to die in three days). It haunts me to this day, witnessing her deterioration, but at least when she actually died it was a relief for her, and to those witnessing her determination to hang onto life - that at last she was not suffering any longer. The Chinese have a saying which is one of wishing you well… it is ‘May your death be sudden’. We put dogs and cats down to alleviate their suffering and they are gone in seconds, not days.

      My daughters father was put on that pathway, here in Ireland. The only thing is, he lived! Thankfully another consultant looked at him and realised he had a severe infection in his liver!

      @Death at Intervals I think you will find all you need to know if you google Liverpool Pathway for the Dying UK. Their emphasis is on care not putting down, but I feel that their care in this regard is to precisely walk the thin line between the two. Also, I fear it could possibly be mishandled, human nature and ‘care’ being what it is! Also I was shocked to hear that here in UK, older patients being admitted to hospital are automatically labelled as DNR (do not resuscitate) - certainly as an older person myself I would want to be consulted and able to make my own choice on the matter!

    Wat an amazing story! These Sardinian women, the Accabadoras, anticipated by hundreds of years what modern medicine is just now arriving at: medical aid in dying. The Catholic Church was and is, as always, opposed. Which explains why they had to remain a quiet, secret organization.

    • @paddlefar9175
      @paddlefar9175 Před rokem

      The Catholic Church hierarchy doesn’t support the compassion of “medical assistance for dying” to allow people to choose a painless death at their time of need.
      Mother Teresa would tell the dying in her care that their pain was just “kisses from god.”
      One thing the C.C. does support is their many many paedophile Priests and their other child molesting people in their Church hierarchy, like archbishop George Pell, for one of tens of thousands of examples, but that’s another, much different and bigger story.

    Happens in hospitals EVERY DAY, if there’s intractable pain as a consequence of a terminal illness, or great difficulty breathing on account of terminal illness, then morphine is given until that patient has no signs or symptoms of pain or difficulty breathing. Sometimes, the amount of morphine (or whatever opiate is given) will cause a more rapid end of life. So be it.

    The priest spoke with such subtle arrogance. Yes, his people can have an extremely strong will to live -- and STILL be ready for death when the time comes. He says HE would say "pull the plug" when the time comes as though he KNOWS he would say that. What an arrogant assumption, that he's almost godlike himself and knows exactly what death feels like as though he's been there. I found the smile perpetual smile on his face as he spoke to be both condescending and arrogant. If he and the Church wanted to make sure no Accabadora ever helped anyone, all they ever had to do was always make sure THEY were in the room comforting people near death. They weren't there, though, were they?

But then, that’s why they are saints . . . They took not the easy way out but accepted the sufferings as part of the path to holiness.

Todo esto debería hacernos pensar que decidir en vida y salud que ante estos casos se nos aplique la eutanasia y que nada ni nadie, ni las leyes ni la religión, nos lo puedan prohibir, es algo a lo que como seres humanos tenemos derecho y no a tener que padecer de dolor y sufrimiento para acabar muriendo irremediablemente debido a una enfermedad terminal o a vivir como vegetales el resto de nuestras vidas

Yes, there were women (sometimes even men) who were healers, used to practice rites with crosses, like in other places of Italy. And I even knew one, even my grandmother knew a lot of them. But this story of the “acabadora” is much much less known. And even those fews elder who confirmed report it in a strange way. Maybe it is an elegant way to say that the family decided to kill him or her.

    The easy way out is rarely the best way. The death process is deeply spiritual and only the wise women of the world should know when to apply it. It should be taboo, because if it was super mainstream, it would become a weapon. How many elderly parents would be pushed into this by their money grubbing selfish children? Keep valuing narcissism, and then expect things like this to actually work lol.

      You've never in contact with Mediterranean cultures, have you? This is how they talk, repeating the same thing over and over. At first I thought that they repeated things to me because I was a foreigner, but during nearly 30 years here I know this is how they talk to each other as well. You learn patience quickly here.

    They are issues with which humans have always struggled from some innuit who to save others left the very old to die on the ice to these ladies in Sardinia. Indeed my father, a British doctor, with consent of someone who used to work for him, at her request and that of her husband, hastened her imminent death and asked us to do the same for him when the time came (not that we needed to and I am not sure that I would - commit murder, interfere with nature - not my believe or style but I understand it). I support the UK's current law - that it is illegal. To change the law is too risky.

I think it came from a compassionate place and may have been abused but I think it was done out of a good place , nothing to do with god , or the Catholic church

    Suffering can be vicarious if offered and united with the suffering of Christ. Vicarious means that it has salvific grace/effect for others. I believe that only God can take life. This practice verges on selfishness on the part of the caregivers and immediate relatives, actually they are not serving for the one who suffered but it is a way to answer their inadequacy to handle pains and to face the reality of suffering - which is actually a part of life.

      You and your religious followers have never been able to prove that a god even exists, so until you can do this, why should someone be forced to suffer before they die, when someone can just end the suffering. That kind of suffering serves no purpose and it causes the whole family extreme stress.
      Here in Canada, since 2016, we have MAID, medically assistance in dying. This is the type of thing you should see in an enlightened, compassionate, civilized society.

    La sofferenza può essere vicaria se offerti e uniti con la sofferenza di Cristo. Vicario e vicaria ha grazia salvifica/ effetto per gli altri. Credo che quello solo Dio può togliere la vita. Questa pratica rasenta sull'egoismo la parte di badante efamiliari stretti, in realtà non stanno servendo per chi ha sofferto ma è un modo per rispondere la loro inadeguatezza per gestire i dolori e per affrontare la realtà di sofferenza - quale una parte della vita.

    Only God has the right to take a life. Suffering before death is part of life. We must be courageous and trust God to take us in His timing and in His way. Euthanasia is murder, an offence of the 6th Commandment. This documentary encourages murder. It is better for our eternal fate to die on God's terms, than to end a few days of suffering by being euthanized, that is murdered. Best is to pray to the God who created us to take us quickly, and even better, is to prepare for death by making peace with God for the forgiveness of our sins through Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.

    Ok in Jesus time this would of made sense however in 2023. That is completely unprofessional and inappropriate for a stranger to end someone’s life no matter how severe their circumstances maybe. We have institutions like hospitals that oversee these scenarios in a human way taking all of the patients needs into consideration. That most be awful for some random woman dressed in black to just come into your room while the people you know leave and put a pillow over your face. Barbaric. Give them some morphine and let them dying in their sleep with their family members in the room.

But I’d be damned if a complete stranger thought they were doing me a favour coming into my home and smothering a loved one as an act of mercy because I didn’t know what else to do. I’d rather them die in their sleep on morphine with family and friends around them at the crucial moment.
