Tinka Kurti's loneliness or Albanian black and white myopia

Bajrami was an 86-year-old nobleman (an indigenous Tirana man) who had ended up in a nursing home.
One December morning he knocked on my law office to consult about the great trouble that had befallen him in the last years of his life.
He was the father of four children, who were married and had 9 grandchildren.
He had been the owner of one of the most beautiful and oldest villas in the center of Tirana.
At the insistence of the children, the villa had been demolished and given to a developer as a percentage for an 8-story building. After completion, his 4 children took the shops as a percentage and rented them out, while their father ended up in a nursing home.
Bajrami had lost his properties, lost his children, lost his grandchildren, and even lived in a nursing home.
Of course, Bajrami's children, except for his father, did not even speak to each other. Three of them were divorced and the shops were the subject of property division in court with their ex-wives.
Unfortunately, I don't know today whether Bajrami is alive or not, but I remembered his story when I read the different stories of Tinka Kurti, but they only had in common the nursing home.
I felt bad not for Tinka Kurti's dramatic end but for the cynical comments of those who want to politically misuse the great artist's nursing home.
Surprisingly, the "tears" came from those who vomited bile for Tinka Kurti, calling her a communist or a product of socialist realism.
We grew up with her voice and eyes in childhood.
For our entire generation, she was like the family man who appeared every Sunday on the black and white screen.
Unfortunately, a large part of Albanians still do not understand that we live in the century of loneliness.
In Germany, 1 million people or 20% of the broken elderly live in nursing homes as a better alternative than the 4 empty walls of the house.
Long life is a gift but also a "punishment" from God.
Long life often confronts people with three challenges:
- the death of children
- loneliness
- poverty
The noble and generous Shkodra woman Tinka Kurti lost her son 7 years ago.
Unlike my client Bajrami who was abandoned and robbed by her children, Tinka was separated by death from her son and remained alone.
The artist Tinka Kurti is an icon of cinema and art.
Anyone in Albania can have the great fortune of Tinka Kurti's longevity but must be prepared for the alternative of how to cope with loneliness.
Loneliness will be the disease of this century especially for the younger generations who today neither want to marry nor inherit.
Let us wish everyone a life as long as Tinka Kurti's but not her loneliness. Although a nursing home certainly remains a better alternative than an empty or abandoned house.
Meanwhile, I wonder why in Albania there is still no party that promises, like every European country, the construction of hundreds of nursing homes for the elderly who do not want to close their eyes in solitude but with company...?
