In February came the sad news that actor Bruce Willis (68) has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
– Have no choice
Willis’, who is one of the world’s most popular and award-winning actors, the family has made no secret of the fact that it has been challenging to deal with the 68-year-old’s diagnosis.
When he recently celebrated his birthday, his wife Emma Heming Willis (44) shared a touching message.
– I often get messages from people who say that I am so strong, and that they don’t understand how I manage this. But I have no choice. I wish I had, but I’m also raising two kids in the middle of this.
Begs the fans: – Please
Now she opens up about her husband’s dementia, and shares a heartbreaking update, the Australian writes News.
Heming Willis recently attended the screening of the new documentary “Little Empty Boxes”, which deals with dementia. There she spoke honestly about the 68-year-old’s diagnosis.
– When you live with someone who has dementia, you know that the treatment options are few, she tells the audience.
– But not everyone goes to bed for that reason, and that is how change is created, and I have had the opportunity to experience the beauty of it, she continues.
Expert: – Fundamentally changing
After the shock news came, the 44-year-old has shared a number of nice memories she has with her husband.
The couple married in 2009. Among the guests were Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore (60), and her daughter, Rumer (34).
In the spring of 2022, Willis was diagnosed with aphasia, and it was her daughter who first shared the sad news that it had developed into dementia, in a post on Instagram.
Sharing glimpses of life after the diagnosis
“Unfortunately, communication challenges are just one of the symptoms of the illness Bruce is facing. Although this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clearer diagnosis”.
