The illness that the Die Hard actor suffered from has become more familiar to Emma Heming Willis. After learning that Bruce Willis has frontotemporal dementia, Emma Heming has received a ton of love and support. After receiving an aphasia diagnosis, the 67-year-old Die Hard actor retired in 2022. But in February, Demi Moore, the ex-wife of Emma and Bruce, and his three adult daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah issued a joint statement informing the public that his condition had sadly worsened into frontotemporal dementia, or FTD.
Emma has now admitted that she has been learning about the illness and equipping herself with the tools she needs to handle Bruce’s condition.
“I’m pleased I got the opportunity to work with @teepasnows pac who has helped me add to my dementia care toolkit,” Emma wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself with dementia care and education specialist Teepa Snow. She is a compassionate, perceptive, and expert leader in this field who conducts herself with genuine empathy. She is wonderful. Visit her website using the link in my bio; it has a ton of helpful information on it that you might find helpful. “.
The 44-year-old and Bruce’s family were dubbed “inspirational” by many of Emma’s followers who swiftly responded to her message. The way you and your family handle things is admirable, as I’m sure you’ve heard before. You two have a close relationship and are in love, one said.
“We are all here for you!!” said a second. It’s awesome that you’re learning from @teepasnows pac. Others praised Emma and thanked her for raising awareness of the problem.
I appreciate you talking about your experience. On February 8th, I lost my father to FTD; perhaps the awareness you’re raising will help others cope with this terrible diagnosis,” a third person said.
After disclosing Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in the spring of 2022, his condition had worsened and a more precise diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia had been made, the family said in a statement on February 16. (also known as FTD). “Unfortunately, Bruce’s disease is not always apparent through communication problems. Even though this is terrible, it is consoling to have a confirmed diagnosis. “.
