According to the family's account, the nurse had an ectopic pregnancy, which is a direct threat to women's lives. Medical specialists explain that it involves the slower movement of the egg cell, which implants outside the uterus. If the egg gets stuck in the fallopian tube, the pregnancy cannot continue, and the only option is its surgical removal.
God took our Tai to himself. Wife, mother, daughter, friend, businesswoman. A woman full of faith, values, and immeasurable kindness. There were so many she reached out to. (...) The best memories remain: her smile, warm embrace, and her legacy. We love you. Rest in peace, Tai - wrote the Brazilian's loved ones.
Taina Medeiros had a husband and a five-year-old daughter. She was buried on July 25 in Parnamirim, in northeastern Brazil.
