What Were The First Words Christopher Reeve’s Kids Said After Seeing Their Dad Paralyzed Post Accident? Find Out Amid Super/Man Release

by

As a devoted admirer of Christopher Reeve, it is heartwarming to hear about his children’s poignant memories of their first meeting with him after his tragic accident. Their recollections of Dana Reeve preparing them and her words of encouragement are a testament to the strength and resilience of the family in the face of adversity. It is inspiring to see how the siblings, despite the daunting circumstances, chose love over fear, visiting their father and expressing their affection.

The children of Christopher Reeve – Will Reeve, Matthew Reeve, and Alexandra Reeve – have recently shared memories about their initial encounters with their father following his unfortunate accident. Furthermore, they’ve provided insights into the discussions they had with the late icon during their first hospital visit.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this heartwarming tale that recently unfolded on Good Morning America, where the offspring of my beloved idol, Christopher Reeve, spoke candidly with Diane Sawyer. Alexandra, now 40 years old, vividly remembered the moment her stepmother, the remarkable Dana Reeve, prepared us, the three kids, to meet our father for the first time after his tragic accident.

Alexandra remembered Dana guiding us by saying, “It might appear very frightening, but don’t worry, he’s present. Speak with him directly. Disregard everything else and just converse with him.

As a devoted fan, I can share this intriguing detail: The daughter elaborated that Dana not only allowed the children to hold their father’s hand but also mentioned something extraordinary – his hand was adorned with numerous mechanical devices, according to Alxendara. To add to this fascinating tale, Matthew, aged 44, recounted, “As I recall, my first words were simply, ‘I love you. We’re here.’

In the past, ABC news anchor Will Reeve shared that after the accident, his mother Dana went to great lengths to ensure he wasn’t afraid of Christopher. She did this by making sure he was included in activities appropriate for his age.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but echo Reeve’s sentiment when he shared that his mother implored him to be ever-present by Christopher’s side. Not only was I tasked with assisting in the physical aspects like helping him move and touch him gently, but also engaging in heartfelt conversations with him.

In my expertise as a lifestyle advisor, I can’t stress enough the importance of certain exercises, like raising your legs, for individuals who have experienced a spinal cord injury, much like what I assisted my father with.

On May 27, 1995, during an equestrian competition, the Superman legend (Christopher Reeve) had an accident that occurred while riding a horse. The fall resulted in his body landing on his head, causing a severe spinal cord injury which left him paralyzed from the neck down.

In 2004, at the age of 52, Christopher Reeve sadly passed away. His wife, Dana Reeve, followed him 17 months later after a tough fight against lung cancer; she was only 44 years old. Prior to the release of the documentary titled Super/Man: The Story of Christopher Reeve, his sons Will, Matthew, and Alexandra made an appearance on Good Morning America.

In selected theaters on September 21, 2024, “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” is set to be released, a film directed by both Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui.
