Actress Sandra Bullock recently sat down with AARP to discuss her experience as a family caregiver for her longtime partner Bryan Randall following his ALS diagnosis

Sandra Bullock recently opened up about her experience caregiving for her late partner, Bryan Randall, after he was diagnosed with ALS. She talked about the struggles of quietly planning for a worsening illness while honoring his request to keep his condition private.

“I wasn’t allowed to tell anybody,” Bullock said in a recent interview. “My sister was the only one who knew for a while. And at first I go, oh, I can handle that. I can be quiet. But it really.... It’s a huge weight.”

Bullock said the practical demands kept multiplying as Randall’s illness progressed, making her realize how alone caregivers can feel.

“I had no idea what to do. I didn’t know how to do it. I didn’t know who to call. Then there’s pain management. You need to do it all on your own,” she recalled.
