In August 1994, Erika Zaba’s life changed when she was 16, because in a road accident, her parents died.
She took over her sisters since then, because she worked in the Vaseline wave. Thirty years later, the singer opened her heart to speak publicly, as she had never done, about this tragic episode.
“It was a dangerous road, with landslides, today we see the road differently, and in one of those landslides, it enters a curve and there were rocks on the road. We stamped and they die instantly,” Erika told her friend Roberto Carlo, when he told him the accident on the highway of Acapulco.
Erika was behind her father, who died instantly. “I had a skull fracture, inflammation of the brain. You remember as among dreams, but you don’t know what is real, what is not, that is clarified over the years.”
“They say that I was the one who gave a contact phone, I gave the name of my parents, my sisters, I was the one who gave that information. I was in a coma for two days and in intensive care many months.”
He recalled the complications: “Everything happened in Chilpancingo, it was very injured, multiple fractures, one of them exposed, brought the bones on the outside, the leg was broken in 16 pieces but the delicate was the state of the brain, that complicated. In addition to the Chilpancingo hospital were not prepared, at that time the doctors said that here it cannot be treated.”
Although they requested a helicopter to be able to transfer it to CDMX, it never happened and “they had to move me into ambulance to a hospital in Mexico. I do not remember anything, more than some flashazos, holding the hand of my sisters and I talked to them but I could not yell many things yet.”
“When I enter the hospital in Mexico, I enter into a coma, I step on intensive therapy and you cannot have peaks of emotions, so I was with medications, all the people who were going to see me could not tell me anything. I was very impressive physically, nobody could see me, nor my sisters. I have a memory that they take me out in a wheelchair, and the whole waiting room was mine, and everyone greeted, but I continued with medications and I did not understand what was happening, but I did not understand what I was going on. Erika Zaba said.
It was later when he learned that his parents had died. To date, Erika Zaba’s reflection is brutally honest: “There is no answer. I don’t have it, I don’t want it, I don’t agree, I didn’t touch me, I didn’t like it. I can’t say ‘things happen’ … because of what happened to me I am the woman now, yes, but I would have preferred no. “
“I still miss them, I need them, I remember them, but I know where they are guiding me, they take care of me and they have made him have different blessings And good things in my life that obviously would not have happened to me, because they come from up there. I am a very blessed person, and I am sure that all the blessings I have, the husband I have, to be a mom, the work I had all my life, was my dream; Those three things, added to what I have said about friendship and family, all that comes from up there, ”confessed the businesswoman.
She knows that they take care of her: “By wanting to be mom at 40, I had two years of struggle, who knew hundreds of cases who could not be a mom, could not have happened to us. And today I am a mother, I say thank my God because you gave me this opportunity, my son is the best son.”
