Bullock cared for her ill partner all through the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n
She said caring for him as the disease progressed meant she began grieving years before he died.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think where he was in his journey, both physically and mentally, I started grieving Bryan four years before he passed. There was something that had shifted,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy person left a lot earlier than the body left. I don\u2019t think I ever dealt with that until after he passed, because you\u2019re just on this treadmill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star said being asked to keep the disease a secret left her feeling \u201cisolated\u201d.<\/p>\n
Bullock said caring for Randall while raising two children during the pandemic was \u201ca trifecta that was pretty dark\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBryan chose to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour his request,\u201d Randall\u2019s family said when he died. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.\u201d <\/p>\n
Bullock is currently promoting her upcoming movie Practical Magic 2 in which she stars alongside Nicole Kidman.<\/p>\n
Her interview with the Smartless podcast will be out on August 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bullock cared for her ill partner all through the Covid-19 pandemic.
