«Des phrases courtes, ma chérie» is the short story by Pierrette Fleutiaux, published by J'ai lu in paperback (186 pages, in French).
The narrator accompanies her mother in a nursing home during her final days and recounts that experience. The story focuses on the mother-daughter relationship: silences, everyday gestures, and half-spoken words, with moments of tension and instants of grace before the farewell. It is a reflection on illness, dignity, and the passage of time.
The story won the National Librarians' Prize in 2002. The edition dates from 2004.
