From White Chicks to Brooklyn 99, Terry Crews shot to fame with his comedic roles. He is an acclaimed actor who also went through his fair share of setbacks and cited his wife, Rebecca King, as an inspiration. The pair recently opened up about her Parkinson’s struggle, and here’s what they have to say.
Terry and Rebecca Crews address Parkinson’s struggle
In an exclusive interview with The People, Terry Crews and Rebecca Crews spoke about her 11-year struggle with Parkinson’s disease and how it affected her mentally, so much so that she wanted to die. This was after she experienced insomnia, and her health worsened due to cancer, which led to her having a double mastectomy, as she revealed in the interview. Terry Crews revealed how it jarred him seeing his wife in pain.
“It hurts. It’s definitely been hard to watch her on those days when I see her so worn out by this. We’re going through this together.”
After experimenting with different forms of therapies, the couple seems hopeful after discovering an alternate therapy in focused ultrasound. To make it simple, this therapy is non-invasive and claims to improve the quality of living for a Parkinson’s patient.
Crews’ response and reaction to this are natural and valid considering the intensity of the condition. This indeed is a dark period for anyone who has a loved one experiencing this condition. What stands out here, in this case, is their perseverance and resilience amid a chaotic situation.
Rebecca Crews, herself, reinstated her belief in the supreme and shared how God helped her get back on her own two feet. “God told me, ‘Keep living, Rebecca. Keep living like you’re healed.’ I couldn’t do that before. I couldn’t even print out my name or fill out a form [due to the tremors]. But I can now.”
This was after she showed improvement in her hand and leg coordination. The condition is known to immobilize patients, but Rebecca Crews seems to be braving through this. She is powering through the toughest moments of her life while expressing her gratitude to her husband, Terry Crews. We wish her a speedy recovery!
