Bruce Willis’ wife says actor’s condition is worsening

At the beginning of the year, it became known that Bruce Willis was diagnosed with a rare chronic neurological disease. The actor suffers from frontotemporal dementia. Willis’ wife gave an interview in which she said his condition was serious.

“What I’ve learned is that dementia is hard. This is difficult for the person diagnosed. It’s hard on the family, too,” Emma Hemming admitted on the Today programme. “And when they say it’s a family illness, it really is,” she added. The actor’s wife admitted her condition has worsened. “It’s hard to say. One of the things the frontal lobe of the brain is responsible for is self-awareness. We do not know. “Some first lose awareness that they have changed, while others retain their self-awareness for a longer period of time,” he said.

The girl also told how they tell their children about the disease. “It was important for us to talk about what this disease is, to explain what it is, because when you know medically what it is, everything becomes clearer,” she said.

Emma admitted that she was struggling to support herself. “There are so many good things happening in our lives. It’s really important for me to take my mind off the grief and sadness so I can see what’s going on around us,” Emma said.

“Honestly it is the gift that keeps on giving. “Love, patience, endurance, many things…” he finally added.
