Demi Moore Discusses Bruce Willis' Dementia Decline, Caregiver Emma Heming’s Memoir

Demi Moore has openly shared the emotional challenges of watching her ex-husband Bruce Willis battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD), describing it as difficult to see someone so vibrant change into a different state. She emphasized the importance of meeting Bruce where he is in his illness without expecting him to be who he once was, finding beauty in the tenderness and playful aspects of his current condition. Moore expressed deep compassion for Bruce's current wife and primary caregiver, Emma Heming Willis, praising her for managing the caregiving role with grace and for recognizing the need for caregivers to care for themselves. Emma Heming Willis detailed her caregiving journey in her upcoming memoir, 'The Unexpected Journey: Finding Hope and Purpose on the Caregiving Path,' which was discussed on The Oprah Podcast. The blended family, including Demi and their daughters, have rallied around Bruce as his condition progresses, with Emma recently addressing criticism about changes to Bruce's living arrangements. The family continues to support Bruce through his dementia, which primarily affects his language and personality before memory loss occurs.
