Rita Wilson discusses her battle with breast cancer, losing her mother Dorothy to Alzheimer’s disease, and much more in a candid new interview with Health.
Wilson says of her mom: “It is one of the hardest things families go through. Even in the closest of families, it creates a lot of tension and anxiety.
This person that you love, that raised you, doesn’t recognize you anymore, and you are losing them every day, little by little. “I learned so much from my mom—even through her Alzheimer’s.
You learn about yourself, about your family, about grieving and letting go. You learn about what’s important and what’s not.
