Emma Heming Willis on FTD and Hope | Durham News

Emma Heming Willis opens up about her husband Bruce Willis’s battle with frontotemporal dementia, challenging the myth that dementia equals memory loss—because it doesn’t. While Bruce’s condition has progressed to affect his language, his memory remains intact, and he still recognizes loved ones. Emma sheds light on anosognosia, a frustrating symptom where patients can’t perceive their own decline, not out of denial but due to brain changes. Through raw honesty, she aims to dismantle stigma, celebrate small joys in their journey, and inspire compassion for families navigating FTD.
