Due to the doctors’ error, she lost her son. She drowned her sadness in drugs and alcohol. “Madness was my life”

Although she achieved success on stage and on the screen, in private life she experienced painful experiences. No sooner had S³awomira Łoziñska dealt with her grief after the breakup of her marriage than she had to face another tragedy. The unexpected death of her beloved son was a blow to her, which, as she claims, she still cannot accept.

In the mid-1970s, she graduated from the Warsaw Theater School, but she made her debut at the National Theater three years earlier. She became known to a wider audience as Bronka from the series and Joanna Racewicz from the cult soap opera “W labiryncie”. Today, she has many more acting credits to her credit, for which she has been awarded prestigious awards many times. However, professional successes did not go hand in hand with happiness in private life.

She put her career on hold to raise her sons. Due to this, the marriage of Łozińska and Olejniczak broke up after 18 years

At the end of her studies, Łozińska met the aspiring composer Janusz Olejniczak, with whom she fell head over heels in love, and it was mutual. Even though they did not see the world outside themselves, their loved ones treated this relationship with a pinch of salt. – Our friends were holding their heads. They didn’t believe this love could last. Against all odds, we jumped into the pool without water – later. When they got married, they had known each other for only 2 years. A year after the wedding, their firstborn Tomasz was born, and 5 years later the family expanded with another child, Paweł.

At that time, it was unthinkable for a woman to take care of the house while working, so the actress decided to suspend her career for a while and devote herself fully to raising her sons. Then things stopped going between the spouses. While her husband was successful and winning awards, she changed diapers and cooked dinner. Involuntarily, they began to distance themselves from each other, and all attempts to save the relationship ended in failure. – Several years of struggle. I was so focused on sensing his moods that I couldn’t tell day from night. I loved too much. I wanted tenderness and acceptance. I didn’t expect anything in return, she later recalled with regret. Ultimately, after 18 years of marriage, Olejniczak moved out of the house and filed a lawsuit.

Łozińska’s son died after spraining his ankle. The actress sought solace in alcohol

It took Łozińska a lot of time to get used to the breakup, but she finally managed to get back on her feet. Work began to bring her fulfillment again, and she was also proud of the successes of her sons, who were slowly entering adulthood and choosing their own professional paths. However, fate can be perverse and the happiness did not last long. On April 13, 2002, Tomasz sprained his ankle while getting off the bus on his way back home. He quickly went to hospital, where doctors put him in a plaster cast and there was no indication that any complications might occur. However, it turned out that they forgot to give him the anticoagulants necessary in such a situation. The effects were dramatic.

During the night, one of the clots broke off and spread to the 24-year-old. For the actress it was a blow straight to the heart. – I thought that only madness would be my life. But I remember the moment when, a few days after Tomek’s funeral, I felt an animal force, an incredible power, enter me. It was a signal that I had to persevere – she said in “Rewia”. Then she disappeared from public life again, cut off contact with her friends, and drowned her sadness in alcohol and drugs. – I was completely deafened – she recalled the most difficult stage of mourning. After the tragedy, her ex-husband and second son supported her, and faith in God, to whom Łozińska entrusted her fate, was also indispensable.
