Bruce Willis has been keeping a low profile since he was told he has aphasia, a disease that makes it hard to communicate. On the other hand, his family has been honest about his illness, giving fans information and thanking everyone for their love and support.
Willis’ family recently told him that his health has gotten worse and that he has been identified with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They are working hard to make sure he gets the best care possible now that they have a better idea of what he is going through.
Emma Heming, Willis’s wife, is working closely with a memory specialist to make sure her husband gets the care and help he needs. She has been honest about how sad she is and how hard it is to care for a loved one who has dementia. “My grief can be paralysing, but I’m learning how to live alongside it,” she said.
Heming just recently found a sweet video of Willis praising her beauty line, Cocobaba, from last year. She posted the video on Instagram to show how much she loves her husband and is thankful for all the moments they have made together.
It was known to Willis’ friends that he was having trouble remembering lines and following directions before the news got out. Willis kept working despite these problems, and his team did everything they could to help him and make sure he didn’t feel bad or embarrassed.
Willis’ family is still thankful for all the love and support of their friends as they deal with his frontotemporal dementia.
