Emma Heming recalls heartbreaking moment of Bruce Willis's dementia diagnosis

Emma Heming opened up about shocking time when she learned her husband Bruce Willis was diagnosed with dementia.

During a recent appearance at the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement Forum in Los Angeles, the entrepreneur and author shared how her future plans with Bruce vanished in thin air following his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in 2022.

The founder of Make Time Wellness, who was invited to share her caregiving journey at the event, revealed that there was "no plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock"

“On the day Bruce got his diagnosis, we left the doctor's office with a pamphlet and a hollow goodbye. No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock,” she admitted.

Emma went on to say, “The future we imagined simply vanished, and I was left trying to hold my family together, raise our two young daughters, and care for the man I love while navigating a disease I barely understood.”

“I felt lost, isolated and scared,” Emma confessed, adding, “What I needed in that moment at that appointment wasn't just medical information. I needed someone to look me in the eye and say, ‘This feels impossible right now, but you will find your footing. You will survive this and you will grow because of it.’ ”

It is pertinent to mention that Emma tied the knot with Bruce in 2009 and they welcomed two daughters Mabel Ray Willis, 13, and Evelyn Penn Willis, 11.
