The condition of Bruce Willis, who suffers from frontotemporal dementia, was not easy for the actor’s family to digest, even though it has been more than a year since he was diagnosed with this disease that causes changes in behavior, personality, language or movement.
However, the situation was particularly difficult for the wife of the protagonist of “Die Hard”, Emma Hemming. The actress spoke on several occasions on social networks about how her partner’s deteriorating health affected her, and recently she also shared all the positive things she learned during this experience.

“When what I share about our family’s journey gets media attention, I know there are many thousands of untold and unheard stories out there, each deserving of compassion and care,” the 45-year-old said in an article he wrote for Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper.

“I wouldn’t wish a diagnosis of FTD on anyone, but our journey has changed the way I see the world. “I have become more compassionate (…) This is something that I want our children to see me working with others, how I fight against the stigma and isolation that a disease like this can bring,” she pointed out.
