Bruce Willis’s wife says his dementia ‘constantly takes’
Bruce Willis dementia update: Emma Heming Willis defends decision to move actor out of family home
Emma Heming Willis, wife of actor Bruce Willis, has spoken about their communication following his diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
She described FTD as an 'unkind disease' that constantly takes, and shared that she and Bruce have developed their 'own language' to connect.
Heming Willis has published a book, 'The Unexpected Journey', to raise awareness about caregiving for those with FTD.
She revealed that Bruce Willis moved into a separate house for round-the-clock care, a decision she found difficult but ultimately beneficial for him, their daughters, and herself.
This living arrangement allows Bruce a degree of independence and facilitates regular visits from friends, which Heming Willis says has made a significant difference.
