It’s “hard to know” whether Hollywood star Bruce Willis is aware that he is suffering with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), his wife, Emma Heming Willis, has said in an update on his condition.
Speaking to Hoda Kotb on the Today show on NBC Monday, Heming Willis described how the diagnosis has affected the couple and their two daughters. “What I’m learning is that dementia is hard. 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,” she said. “And when they say that this is a family disease, it really is.” Kotb asked Heming Willis if her husband was aware of his condition, to which she responded: “Hard to know.
” “So it was important that we let them know what it is because, you know, I don’t want there to be any stigma or shame attached to their dad’s diagnosis, or for any form of dementia,” added Heming Willis. She also struck a positive note. “He is the gift that keeps on giving,” she said of her husband. “Love, patience, resilience, so much.” “Bruce would really want us to be in the joy of what is, he would really want that for me and our family,” she said.
