In a sincere interview, Emma Heming shared an emotional update on the continuous battle of her husband Bruce Willis against frontotemporal dementia. The couple, who have two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, has faced immense challenges since the diagnosis of Bruce, and Emma spoke frankly about the way the family adapted to this difficult trip.
Emma revealed that the family made the difficult decision to move Bruce from their house in a separate residence designed to meet their needs. “It was one of the most difficult decisions I had to make,” she said. “But I knew that Bruce would like what is best for our daughters. He wanted them to be in a space more suited to their needs. ”
Their “second house” was converted into a more comfortable and quieter space for Bruce, allowing it to sail in its environment with more ease. Emma described the atmosphere there as filled with love, warmth and laughter, and praised the continuous support of the friends of Bruce who bring joy and life to her new house.
Emma and Bruce have been married for 16 years, and the couple worked hard to maintain a mixed family, which includes the three girls of Bruce from her previous marriage with Demi Moore. Emma is close to half and her daughters-in-law, and in the interview, she recalled how Scout, one of Bruce’s girls, raised concerns about the mental health of Emma.
“Scout told me that she was more worried about me than for Bruce,” said Emma. “It made me realize that I had to come together, so I asked for professional help and hired full -time caregivers for Bruce.”
Emma should also release a book titled Unexpected journey: finding strength, hope and yourself on the way to care September 9. The book aims to provide support to caregivers, helping them to feel heard and seen. Emma explained that her motivation to raise awareness of frontotemporal dementia comes from the desire to ensure that families can receive an earlier diagnosis and greater support during their care trips.
