LUIZA FRANCO
FROM RIO DE JANEIRO
On the day her son was shot during a police operation in the Complexo da Maré neighborhood, Dilma Galdino, 39, put together a barricade on Avenida Brasil and set it on fire.
In the following months, she took part in demonstrations against police brutality and she was also interviewed in front of the Legal Medical Institute (IML), where she waited for five hours before the body of her son, Davison Lucas, 14, was released.
She mourned her son's death in public - now a thing of the past - but it's the mourning in private that seems to never end.
When a violent death befalls a family, everything changes – daily routines, personalities, relationships, financial situations and even living arrangements can change for families that have been affected.
