Eunice was imprisoned for 12 days. For years, she struggled to find out what had happened to her husband. The official response came only in 1996, when she obtained a death certificate and the recognition of the death of Rubens Paiva by the dictatorship.
In an interview with Globo Reporter in 1995, Eunice Paiva said, "I can say that I am grateful for this solution that has been proposed and that I think it is a closed chapter of our presently closed life , although it is clear that the memory of the rubens, of his desire, of the importance he had for us, let us maintain, but on another plane, in the plane of affection, of the saudade, all the rest. "
The body of Rubens Paiva has never been found.
"She had a great determination because she understood that the dictatorship had done everything to ensure that her happiness was met by her family, her children," said Rogério Sottili, executive director of the Vladimir Institute. Herzog. "And she guided the children: we will not be sad, we can suffer inwardly, we can suffer at home, but when we go out into the street, we will have to proudly show our determination, our joy of fighting for justice. "
The couple has five children: Marcelo, Veroca, Eliana, Nalu and Babiu. The writer Marcelo Paiva has published a book to tell the story of his mother. Eunice was formed in letters and with the disappearance of the husband, she avenged herself. He became a lawyer, became a specialist in Aboriginal law and was consulted by the federal government, the World Bank and the United Nations.
"All my life, people have said that I looked like my father," said Marcelo. "Not long ago, I discovered that no, I reflected on my mother."
