There are very few things worse in the world than slowly losing a loved one.
Emma Heming Willis, the wife of actor Bruce Willis (Armageddon, Pulp Fiction, Unbreakable), has given an update about her husband’s battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) on Monday’s episode of Today.
“What I’m learning is that dementia is hard,” Emma said. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed. It’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say that this is a family disease, it really is.”
Bruce was diagnosed with the disease in March 2022.
