Mr. Willis is blessed to be surrounded by so much love from his entire family. There are so many suffering from the same condition that are sitting in nursing homes that never even have visitors.
I lost my mum to dementia in June this year. It broke my heart every time I visited her in the care home, I watched her go downhill fast. Nichty Nitchtum mum, until we meet again. I love you xx
She may not feel good in the moment but she is so brave!! I am so sorry yet so thankful she is sharing this difficult journey with Bruce. It is for sure a labor of love!!❤
I love that she tells their story. I wish I had known to give myself a moment every day to feel the negative emotions, the hardest part of looking after a loved one is trying to be positive all the time especially when you are with them 24/7
That must be so hard. Thankfully that family unit is so supportive of each other I feel for her and all of them Watched Die Hard on Christmas, he’s still a favourite!!
Met Bruce many years ago in Soho, always had great love for him, he was very down to earth, lovely man. The road is tough but u will receive your blessings. Very blessed n healthy New year
I went through this with my mom. It was a difficult time BUT my son, daughter in law and my self took GREAT care of her up until the end. I know how you feel and what you are going through. Self care and love you and your daughters 💕
My husband was stricken with FTD. He lost all interest in life, all emotion, all speech, and all recognition of his loved ones 2-3 years before his death. It was brutal! ❤
Admiration and strength to Emma for being a caring force to her husband and family. Caring for persons with special needs is not an easy task, while also caring for your children and other family members.
We hospiced both of our parents at their home before they passed. We did not have to deal with dementia or mental decline, only physical decline. I cannot imagine what his family is going through. I feel for them and all of you who have commented about caring for and losing a loved one to dementia. You are true saviors and heroes. ❤❤❤
Alzheimer's is the most cruel disease. Lost my dad to Alzheimer's and it was hard seeing him deteriorate. Sad to see Bruce this way. What's important is he being surrounded by family and continue to be showered with love and affection. All the best, Willis and family
When we loose our love ones to death is definitely a lot of grief and pain ,when you loose your loved ones to dementia it is hard,difficult and exhausting ,the subject of your love is there,but it is not and that is terrible agony that doesn’t end ,many blessings and strength to his wife and the entire family !
I am so sad for what you are going through and even more so for Bruce. Such a great actor such a good kind man, so hard to believe what has happened to him! My heart and prayers go out to you, his wife and Bruce and the families. I pray for peace and comfort in the coming year, and I pray that God gives you the strength to accept whatever the future holds. I pray this in Jesus mighty name. Amen.🙏❤️✝️
I lost my Mom to Dementia 3 years ago. We love them, try to make them happy, feel safe and live the best life they can. My heart goes out to the Willis family and all other families that have a loved one with Dementia. Bruce is so loved by millions of fans.
I remember what my mom had to go through, when my grandfather, her dad was living with that. Emma is blessed to have so much love around her, and the fans are behind her, as well.
My mom was once know as having a memory like an elephant. She's now going through dementia at 83. At fast I grieved now I'm just enjoying my time with her.
She is so incredibly brave and always thinking of others. Doing all she can to generate more attention to FLD. Such a tragic loss - I imagine what might have been in Bruce’s life and career. But she has the best attitude - always try to focus on the joy and positivity around you 💗 Bruce is truly blessed to have Emma and the rest of his loving family 🙏
She's so lucky to have family support, including Demi. I wish I had support. I love Bruce Willis and all the movies he was in, he always brought the funny, best of love, health and humour to all of them. i'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself right now, because my mom's not as pleasant as Bruce is, she's belligerent, she accuses me of wrongful doings, she's paranoid dementia, but looking back at my life, I guess she always was paranoid. I didn't mean to post this all about me, I'm grateful about so many things in my life right now.And I'm truly happy that he's stayed on course and is a happy dementia person- does that make sense? I'm bringing my own life into this story again- my mom has always been who she's portaying during her dementia, Bruce has always been a fun-loving human being, and is therefore always smiling. Bless him and his family as they struggle through this- you have each other to lean on 🙏
My mom in law has always been caring, kind and generous, but we have also just been through a phase of wild accusations and things that just didn't happen. It's part of the disease. Don't take it personally. It's not her fault nor yours.
It’s nice that she has money and doesn’t have to worry about taking care of him alone. So many people are less fortunate and must give up their life for the other person.
Look into it all a little bit. She kinda doesn't. Demi is there A LOT doing some plus all the kids take care of him and they have caregivers that come daily. I'm not saying shes not doing anything and that shes not suffering a bit but she really fell into a financial gift here shes turned this whole thing into a social media platform for herself its sickening
The money is from all the "made for tv" movies that Bruce worked his butt off on the last few years. I suspect that he had a diagnosis then and they didn't go public with the news until he was almost incapacitated.
@ I realize he has the money to pay for his health care and she doesn’t have to worry about paying for people to come in and help take care of him. My husband had Parkinson’s and it cost a fortune to care for him.
Thank You Emma for sharing Your Truth in what You endure so that Others can see that there's no shame in feeling the way You do. GOD be with the Entire Family in/on this journey with Bruce (love Him) 🙏🏽💓
The joy of what is….don’t miss the joy that is always waiting for you in the here and now…..the good comes when you have gratefulness! Start by counting your blessings one by one!
You have no idea how painful that is. Imagine the person who raised you for instance and they look at you and no longer know who you are. She is mourning the conscious man she married he is alive but his actual self is essentially dying. Like she may see brief instances of who he was but it no longer is who is is now. So that is like a death. One of my friends ruined her mind with drugs and alcohol. And I grieve the sober version of her who was conscious and able to be present with me. I hope this helps. You can be alive and not be present… and your loved ones will grieve your presence.
Talking about it normalizes it for the public to also talk about the challenges. Yes, there are fun even funny times but lots of grief and tears. It takes commitment to keep going. At some point it’s over and you are torn between wanting the person back and relief.
Good for you Emma, Bruce absolutely would want you to be as happy as you can. Do not blame yourself for your time and mental health…. My dad had Alzheimer’s and with my dad he had the issue of telling us we are all trying to kill him (which of course we didn’t) I loved my dad unconditionally and he new what we (my Mom and I) went through. He would be sooo saddened. (Back in the 80’s) I was around 24, now I’m 59. So trust me….enjoy your life like you did when Bruce was the way he was, only thing different is that you will be with the kids instead of him… no REGRETS!!!!❤🇨🇦🙏🏼
Eric's wife: Dear Emma, I watched my grandpa, a man of character, take care of his wife of 64 years for 7 tough years as she declined in Alzheimer's, even from afar as we lived across the country and didn't get to visit too often. Please know that doing what you are is that of a woman of fortitude and character and that we (my hubby and I) still and always will love Bruce's films. He's a talented actor and we will pray for you and your family. May you know and feel support and love from many many people. :)
God bless they have money dealing with this…long term care was a nightmare to receive through the ins. co. Happy my mother was lucky and lived with the disease for only 2 years…more needs to told to the public about caring day to day and cash you need to deal with this.
Poor you, my dad had Dementia and my mom took care of him in her eighties. My friend takes care of both her parents in their late 70's who both have Dementia. So are so many people around the world.
I doubt their wives are as young as this woman and with young children. I believe that she publicizes their experience to inform the general public that it does happen to families with younger members, what people have to go through, and how you can still appreciate the dementia suffering person. Too many just get shoved into a nursing home and forgotten by their family members, thinking, oh well there is no point as he/she may not remember if I visited or not; and others it is too depressing for them showing them first hand the vulnerability of their own mortality. Everyone deals with difficult situations in their own ways. None of this is the dementia patient’s fault. That here they are expressing compassion for the caretaker and showing how the patient can still be a part of the family and appreciated and treated with dignity and love is an example for all of us in dealing with family with illnesses and with each other. So, maybe it would be more helpful if, instead of focusing on comparing and judging others, you look for positive ways to assist others around you too.
@@eviehammond9509 It's much easier with wealth. You can hire nurses whatever you need. This is not about who suffers the most but she has much more easier than the average person who has to quit their job to take care of their loved one.
My pastor and his wife had experienced a miscarriage shortly before they came to our church and I remember him saying ‘It is not wrong to spend time in your closet grieving; you just have to remember that you can’t stay there.
Give the man some privacy Emma. I hate just hate this public sharing of the personal business of a man who cannot give consent to this. Let him go in comfort. We do not need to know the details . All we need to know is that this fine man is loved and cared for. Let him Live the rest of his life in privacy.
@@ahill4642nope!!!! In sickness and in health. This is what you vow. You need to suck it up and take care of your love one. I hope you aren't married. You sound like an awful partner that is only there for the good times!
The reality of marrying someone 23 years older. That is rough. I'm close to her age and I can't imagine the stress she's under. I'm glad they have the finances to afford excellent care
Mr. Willis is blessed to be surrounded by so much love from his entire family. There are so many suffering from the same condition that are sitting in nursing homes that never even have visitors.
That is so true, i have seen it firsthand and it’s heartbreaking. Here in Ireland we call it the long goodbye.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️
Agreed.
If children don't visit their parents when their parents are sick, those children didn't have good parents.
Tous ces gens qui sont dans les maisons de retraite, abandonnés, n'ont pas d'argent, donc pas de visiteur...
surtout dans notre pays 🇨🇵, la France
So true! Worked in nursing home years ago and noticed few got visitors
We lost my father to dementia. You actually lose them multiple times before the final loss. My prayers and love go out to this family ❤
We lost my mother ten years before she died.
I lost my dad to dementia in 2023. 😢
My mom passed away in November 2024. She had dementia. Such a difficult disease.😢
@@loosilu 🤗
@@jeanniemayer2174 I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a terrible disease. 💔

Admiration and strength to Emma for being a caring force to her husband and family. Caring for persons with special needs is not an easy task, while also caring for your children and other family members.
He has money...lol...of cos she is supportive...bruce better hurry up cos girl gotta cash out while she is still young..

You have to live in the moment when you are the primary caregiver of a loved one with dementia.
So true because everything for them and for you is literally in the moment ❤
It's a great spiritual lesson
So sad for Bruce, but the truth is that it is harder on his family. Best wishes for the whole family.
Heart breaking...such a lovely, talented obviously kind Man who is loved by his family....and of course his millions of fans.

It is so hard to stay in the joy and love, not the sadness and grief! God bless you all!
When they saw the title did anyone think that Bruce died
No. Grief is about loss. Not just loss of life.
Yes
May God heal him. 🙏
No it would be all over the news if that was true
I lost my Mom to Dementia 3 years ago. We love them, try to make them happy, feel safe and live the best life they can. My heart goes out to the Willis family and all other families that have a loved one with Dementia. Bruce is so loved by millions of fans.

They will have a better quality of life bcuz they are blessed with loads of support AND FUNDS. Not all families have that.
Dementia and blessed is a bit too much
@Constellation0683
I've seen it several time's in my life. Perspective IS everything when it comes to "dealing" with dementia.
💯
She’s a beautiful soul ❤️🕊
I'm glad they have love. This is heartbreaking.
My mom currently has dementia and I totally understand 💐❤️🙏🏽❤️🩹
Thank You Emma for sharing Your Truth in what You endure so that Others can see that there's no shame in feeling the way You do. GOD be with the Entire Family in/on this journey with Bruce (love Him) 🙏🏽💓
So sad😢,our prayers are with your family ❤, be strong
The joy of what is….don’t miss the joy that is always waiting for you in the here and now…..the good comes when you have gratefulness! Start by counting your blessings one by one!
Both of my grandmothers died from complications from dementia. It’s a heartbreaking and maddening disease.
Sad circumstances. Enjoy him in his various roles. Best wishes for strength as his family deals with his illness.
Mourning someone who is still living.
You have no idea how painful that is. Imagine the person who raised you for instance and they look at you and no longer know who you are. She is mourning the conscious man she married he is alive but his actual self is essentially dying. Like she may see brief instances of who he was but it no longer is who is is now. So that is like a death. One of my friends ruined her mind with drugs and alcohol. And I grieve the sober version of her who was conscious and able to be present with me. I hope this helps. You can be alive and not be present… and your loved ones will grieve your presence.
You mourn them as you lose them, bit by bit. It very sad.i really hope this was not a judgemental comment.
You can still “live a good life” when there is wealth, good health care, access to the best doctors and a partner that loves you unconditionally.
I feel for her. I lost a friend to frontal temporal dementia a couple of years ago, and I lost my mother to vascular dementia in 2023.
Talking about it normalizes it for the public to also talk about the challenges. Yes, there are fun even funny times but lots of grief and tears. It takes commitment to keep going. At some point it’s over and you are torn between wanting the person back and relief.
I will keep you in my everyday prayers and keep moving forward as much as you can since you will get through it.
Good for you Emma, Bruce absolutely would want you to be as happy as you can. Do not blame yourself for your time and mental health….

Bless you all! 🙏💞💞
Is so sad one my favor actor God bless his wife for being so especial human being in profession where people abandon and divide,divorce
It's just so sad that anyone gets this.
I just watch Die Hard 2, Bruce has always been my fav actor, I’m still devastated that he has this, I pray for his family😢
She is a gem. SHe has a good support system with Demi.. from the looks outside.
He's 69 years old, never knew this could happen at this age.
My friends mother was diagnosed with dementia at 55 and passed away at 62!
It can actually happen at any age, even children have had alzheimers b4
He had head injuries, that's often the contributing factor 😪
Happened to my husband at 53!
Eric's wife: Dear Emma, I watched my grandpa, a man of character, take care of his wife of 64 years for 7 tough years as she declined in Alzheimer's, even from afar as we lived across the country and didn't get to visit too often.

Congratulations
I hope somebody tells her she's a hero for battling the dementia with her husband. She and the family are also also impacted by disease.
My daughter in laws mother died of frontal lobe dementia. Frontal lobe normally moves fast! She died within 6 months..
Congratulations to the 2 of you❤
Merry Christmas & Happy New year!

She seems like a beautiful person.
All the best to you!
I feel really sad for his condition. Who would ever thought that even for a man's man of a celebrity like him would get this? 😢
Yippee Kay Yay, Bruce❤
Love you always❤❤❤
Emma seems like a really amazing person.
How old is she
This is an AMAZING family.
Poor you, my dad had Dementia and my mom took care of him in her eighties. My friend takes care of both her parents in their late 70's who both have Dementia. So are so many people around the world.
Since when did this become a competition?? Just because they have fame & wealth they can't suffer???
Uuughhhh, brother 🤢 the struggle olympics has made its appearance. There are better ways to deal with a chip on the shoulder.

When dementia hits you just try to adjust and be there. It sucks & very sad.
I looked after my husband for four years on my own, washed dressed, fed...forget your own feelings and make their life as comfortable as possible..
❓ Respectfully that sounds like a recipe for misery. How about some balance between caregiver and self care…?
You are a great person Gabrielle!!!! I can tell you loved him, truly
@@ahill4642nope!!!! In sickness and in health. This is what you vow. You need to suck it up and take care of your love one. I hope you aren't married. You sound like an awful partner that is only there for the good times!
Nice to hear from his wife instead of his ex-wife for a change.
She's the one constantly pawning him off on her. Emma should be grateful Demi is willing to help.
Well Demi is extremely involved so hush
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😇🙌🏾
The reality of marrying someone 23 years older. That is rough. I'm close to her age and I can't imagine the stress she's under. I'm glad they have the finances to afford excellent care
God Bless you Emma
I truly understand!!!
She looks very young. I wish she is really good to him. Bruce has give so much.
I don’t suppose he deserves her constant, loud “ I don’t want to be with him anymore but I must”.
Dementia is brutal. It takes them a piece at a time. It leaves their body and takes their soul.
He really has a type, she looks so much like Demi.
Oh no poor Emma 😢😢😢
Its so hard in so many different ways. Shes an amazing woman andi appreciate her for all the hard work and love she gives her family. God bless
She's so much younger than him, hope they are doing well though
Praying🙏🏽
It makes me wonder if Neuralink could help in someway. Even if it's a low % success.
God bless.
Prayers
Happy New Year's to you and Bruce and your family God bless you praying praying 🙏
She is so lucky to have a great support system 😊
