He talked about mourning this Sunday (27), a date that marks a week of the death of his sister, who was veiled and cremated in Rio de Janeiro last Friday (25). “I want to thank you for all the beautiful, careful and welcoming messages I have received in the last days! Thanks to each of you,” wrote the chef and host on her Instagram account stories.
Unlike other famous family members and famous friends, Bela Gil was not photographed at Preta Gil’s funeral, as she arrived at her sister’s wake along with her father, and her mother, Flora Gil, after the ceremony is closing for the public and the press.
“I especially thank my friends and friends for the concern and availability of taking care of me. You are fundamental in my life. How beautiful to feel it and I hope to be this friend to you too. I’m well ‘learning to make room for longing,” said Bela about her “disappearance” in recent days because of the grief.

On Saturday (26), Bela had already shown a trip to the beach for a dive in an attempt to take care. “Today the body was asking movement to restrain pain and nothing better than swimming in the sea,” he wrote. On Thursday (24), a day before the funeral of Preta, Bela had also honored her sister with a post and a sequence of photos on social networks. “You have opened doors and paths and I will follow thanks for everything, I love you.” In addition to Bela Gil, Preta Gil had 6 other brothers, all sons of Gilberto Gil. The singer had already lost another son, Pedro Gil, in 1990.
