González Oro shared a fragment of a poem with deeply emotional resonance: “Very close to my sunset I bless you life because you never gave me failed hope or unjust work or undeserved sorrow… I loved, I was loved, the sun caressed my face. “Life, you owe me nothing, life, we are at peace.” He followed this with a message stating, “I know that my name will resonate in dear ears. Don’t let that happen. Say it once a day. I received a lot throughout this life. You made me live forever.”

Analysis on Puro Show
The posts quickly gained attention, becoming a topic of discussion on the program Puro Show. Journalist Nancy Duré commented, “What it implies, if one reads it literally like that, is that something could be happening to him, that it could be a kind of farewell.” Another commentator, known only as Seven, suggested that a decline in professional success might be contributing to González Oro’s state of mind, stating, “He is a guy who had everything, awards, success, and unfortunately that mega success no longer accompanies him today, and I suppose that in the head of someone like that must affect you.”
Professional Perspective on Emotional State
Psychologist Gabriel Cartaña offered a professional assessment, suggesting the possibility of major depressive disorder or dysthymia. “Major depressive disorder is very deep and intense depression,” Cartaña explained. “Dysthymia is similar, but longer in time, a melancholic and dull state that is sustained.” He emphasized that such feelings can stem from “a multiplicity of causes that come together.”

Cartaña also noted the role of aging, suggesting that “life retires us at some point,” and emphasized the importance of support, stating, “The key is not to leave him alone. What happens to him has a solution. It is sad that he does not solve something that does have a solution.”
