Rocío Igarzábal says she received a powerful sign three days after the death of her close friend and colleague Ernestina Pais. The actress shared the story two months after Pais died after being struck by a Tren de la Costa train in San Isidro.

My heart is already beating very hard for what I am about to tell you.

· Rocío IgarzábalShe introduced the emotional story during a radio interview.

Igarzábal and Pais had become close while performing together in El divorcio del año. On a previous drive home from the theater, they listened to Julieta Venegas’s MTV Unplugged album and sang loudly. Igarzábal told Pais that “Todo está aquí” was one of her favorite songs. The song later inspired Igarzábal to write a track for her daughter Lupe, planned for an album she will release next year.

On June 29, three days after Pais’s death, Igarzábal went to a medical appointment for a spinal scan. She said only three people were in the waiting room. The older woman sitting beside her recognized her from social media and said her son had been the last person beside Pais, arriving to help her during the final seconds of her life.

I got goosebumps.

· Rocío IgarzábalShe described hearing the song in the waiting room three days after Pais’s death.

When the woman was called for her appointment, a young woman sitting four seats away began singing “Todo está aquí” aloud while with her young son. Igarzábal said the moment affected her deeply. “I got goosebumps,” she recalled. She felt the song was telling her that Pais was all right, and said Julieta Venegas then took on a very important place in her life.

I felt she was telling me that she was all right.

· Rocío IgarzábalIgarzábal explained how she interpreted the unexpected song as a sign from her friend.
