The wife of the legendary Michael Schumacher, Corinna Schumacher, has for the first time since her husband’s devastating brain injury, opened up about his health condition.
Speaking in the Netflix documentary SCHUMACHER, Corinna, 52, said her husband has remained in high spirit despite the near-fatal brain injury he suffered while skiing in the French resort of Meribel in December 2013, which forced him into a medically-induced coma for six months until June 2014.
Shumacher has been in a vegetative state since the accident,
His family has also kept his life private until the Netflix documentary where she revealed details about Schumacher.
She said: “I miss Michael every day. ‘But Michael is here – different, but here. He still shows me how strong he is every day.
“We’d always made it through his races safely, Which is why I was certain he had a few guardian angels that were keeping an eye out for him.
“I don’t know if it’s just a kind of protective wall that you put up yourself or if it’s because you’re in a way naive – but it simply never occurred to me that anything could ever happen to Michael.
“‘I never blamed God for why this happened now. It (the accident) was just really bad luck – all the bad luck anyone could ever have in their life.
“‘We are trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does. We live together at home. We do therapy. We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he’s comfortable.
‘”We are getting on with our lives: ‘private is private’ as he always said. It’s very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Michael always protected us, now we are protecting Michael.”
