When people marry, they promise to love each other in sickness and in health. On their wedding day, no one think about illness, but some couples are tested by life’s challenges. Bruna and her husband David have been going through this trial for several years, inspiring admiration from those around them.
The story of this couple became viral and touched the hearts of people all over the world. David takes care of his wife, who has been in a vegetative state for several years. They were both under 30 when the tragedy occurred, but David remains optimistic and sacrifices everything for the woman he adores so much. Due to frequent absences, he lost his job and was left without money needed for Bruna’s recovery. That’s why he has an Instagram page and hopes for donations.
It was 2019. David César and Bruna de Sousa were watching TV on a normal day when, suddenly, Bruna started having convulsions due to cardiorespiratory arrest. In an interview, David recalled, “In a matter of three minutes, she lost all vital signs. We rushed to the hospital, and after 25 minutes, they managed to resuscitate her, but she had been without oxygen for a long time.”
According to David’s account, Bruna suffered from a disorder that does not affect the basic functions of the nervous system but does prevent her from perceiving her surroundings. In other words, his wife was left with permanent sequelae and in a vegetative state.
Bruna was hospitalized for almost two years, and since June 2019, David has devoted all his time to taking care of her in his own home. However, being unemployed, he could not meet all the needs of his partner. And yes, although she is at home, she needs the help of specialists, medications, food, and other things.
The truth is that what David was earning as a driver was not enough to cover his wife’s needs. For this reason, he was forced to start raising funds.
Although many charitable souls took pity on them, Bruna’s expenses kept increasing. David himself acknowledged this at the time: “We haven’t managed to get her retirement yet. But two volunteer lawyers are helping us. We are living on donations.”
Fortunately, after going through so many difficult moments, there was still hope. David learned of treatment in Canada thanks to the information provided by the neurologists. If he could get access to it, Bruna would have to take the medication for three years and combine it with physiotherapy. However, the cost of this option was around $20,000, so the couple had to resort again to raising funds through donations.
The young man started to raise money and collected 28,000 dollars, however, Bruna’s monthly costs are still very high, and she needs even more money. We hope that these funds will improve Bruna’s condition.
More than five years have passed since the pivotal moment when life took a different turn for Bruna and David. Through his Instagram profile, the young man shared memories of their relationship. Moreover, he diligently keeps his followers informed about the progress of his beloved wife.
This story inspires people around the world. Many users show their support for the couple, wishing Bruna a recovery and sending David strength and patience. Moreover, such unwavering devotion is regarded as true pure love. One of them wrote: “I believe in this love, and this made me cry and motivated”.
I married the woman of my dreams, but later on I had to make one of the toughest decisions of my life.
Hi everyone, my name is Mark, and this is my wife, Lisa, along with my two kids from my previous relationship. I’m sharing my story today because my heart is heavy with doubt and pain. If you read on, you’ll understand my turmoil. Lisa is the most amazing human being on earth, and any man would be blessed to have her. But before marrying her, I had a ten-year relationship with the mother of my children, Larissa.
My beautiful wife Lisa
Two years ago, Larissa, who was a pretty loving mom, fell in love with a guy she met at work. Out of nowhere, she lost her mind and left me for him, abandoning our family. I was left alone with our two children, devastated and trying to pick up the pieces.
New Beginnings
A year and a half later, I met Lisa. She was a ray of sunshine in my otherwise bleak world. We connected deeply and fell in love quickly. Lisa was fantastic with the kids, treating them as her own. Her kindness and patience knew no bounds. A year after we met, we decided to tie the knot.
Just a few days ago, my youngest daughter, Anna, said, “Daddy, I love the new mommy. Can she stay here forever?” It melted my heart and reinforced my belief that Lisa was the right choice for us. However, just when I thought life was perfect, a storm was brewing on the horizon.
Ghosts from the Past
A few months after the wedding, my ex, Larissa, called out of the blue. She wanted to meet me. I was confused and conflicted. She was the mother of my children, so I felt obligated to see her. When we met, she looked like a shadow of her former self, pale and distraught. She confessed, “Mark, I NEED YOU BACK.”
FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSE ONLY
I was stunned. At that moment, all my old feelings for her came rushing back. It was overwhelming, and I couldn’t focus on anything else. I started being mean to Lisa, even though I knew she didn’t deserve it. I was torn between my past and my present.
A Heartbreaking Confession
Just a few days later, I did the unthinkable. I broke Lisa’s heart by telling her about my feelings for Larissa. She was devastated. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, “Why now, Mark? After everything we’ve been through?”
Lisa and I recommitted to our marriage and to our family. We took a family trip to the beach, spent more quality time together, and created new memories. Larissa, realizing that her place was in the past, eventually moved on, respecting our decision.
Happily Ever After
Today, Lisa and I are happier than ever. Our family has grown closer, and the kids are thriving. We’ve learned that true love isn’t just about the past; it’s about building a future together. Lisa and I continue to support and cherish each other every day, creating a loving home for our children.
Life threw us a curveball, but we caught it together. Our story is a testament to the strength of love and the power of forgiveness. And as Anna wished, Lisa is here to stay, forever a part of our family.
