‘I’m doing the best I can, but I’m not well’: Bruce Willis’ wife reveals caring for him affects her mental health

Recently, Emma Hemming, the current wife of Bruce Willis, revealed some of her reality as a caregiver through a video on her social networks, after the “Die Hard” actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a condition that prevented him from pursuing a career in Hollywood.

“I’m doing the best I can (…) but I’m not feeling well”, are some of the emotional words he uttered in his post, in which he explains that he can’t lie and say that the process was easy, because he dedicates his efforts and his mental health every day to her husband and the daughters she gave birth to with him: Mabel and Evelyn, 11 and 9 years old, respectively.

Despite this, he revealed that Bruce Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, have been very supportive in looking after the actor who, as Toofab revealed, was rapidly losing his communication skills.

In addition, Bruce Willis’ wife recommended other caregivers like her to take care of themselves before taking care of others so that their mental health is not compromised.

“When we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of anyone we love. So it’s very important and, as I said, it’s a conscious effort,” said Emma Hemming.
