Bruce Willis

A very good actor and a horrible illness so sad.

Gossamerbeynon I’m so sorry.

Someone we knew developed aphasia. I’d not heard of it before then. Sadly, for him it was a precursor to dementia which progressed very rapidly to his death.

I hope Bruce Willis’s condition is due to a more benign cause.

Thank you so much, for your kind remarks SueDonim.

I apologise wholeheartedly for my posts yesterday.
It’s no excuse, but I am suffering with chronic pain; and my husband’s health.
It was out of character (and of out order) for me.
Sorry all!

No need to apologise FannyC. I suspect we are all capable of a brief, direct comment. Life can be really tough, as it is for many of us as well as for Bruce Willis. I’d never watched a DieHard till lockdown, never been a fan if Bruce. DieHard 1 converted me, fabulous disaster movie

Oh gossamerbeynon...sending you a hug....

Sorry you're having such a hard time gossamerbeynon.

No need to apologise Fanny you probably are a fair bit younger than Bruce, and these things happen even to much younger people. Sorry you are in constant pain and worried about you DH.

Dont worry fanny, I made an uncalled for comment the other day and didnt apologise!

It is very sad news.

Poor Bruce

gossamerbeynon, if I was you I would talk all this through with a counsellor. If he hadn't had a stroke what do you think would be happening now?

I feel for you Gossamer.

So sad for Bruce, and all sufferers of this dreadful illness.
I liked him so much in Moonlighting.
Sending you greeting FC. We all have off days.

Oh thank you everyone. I was just being a misery guts.

Gossamer Jane is right, it would be good to talk to someone

It's cruel, isn't it, especially for someone whose career depended on the spoken word.

I've never seen a Diehard film nor Moonlighting but I really enjoyed The Sixth Sense and thought he was great in that film.

It is okay to be a misery guts occasionally I think everyone needs to be a bit kinder to themselves. The last two years have been really difficult for everyone and none of us are perfect and none of us are able to cope with it all without sometimes being unreasonable. We are all just human!

A very underrated actor. I still haven’t watched Die Hard but I’ve watched several of his other films and loved them.

Diolch yn fawr to everyone who sent me sympathies and good wishes.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's stroke and the predicament you find yourself in.
No advice but send my sympathies.

Aphasia was not a term familiar to me although we cared for my DM after she had strokes. She didn't lose her speech altogether but struggled to articulate and lost some words, which she found very frustrating indeed.

She has already explained and apologised. Please read the full thread.

Thank you so much Callistermon21. Today I have made an appointment with a counsolor. Hope it helps. I am sure it will. I have not told anyone in my family about his affair. I need to talk about it!

Best of luck * Gossamer* it will, well done making the call x

I hope you can get help to work through your feelings Gossamer.
Feeling resentful would be quite normal under the circumstances so don't feel guilty if you feel angry.
