Emma Heming-Willis Discusses Challenges of Marking Wedding Anniversary with Bruce Willis

Emma Hemming recently opened up about her struggle with her husband Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis, particularly on their 14th wedding anniversary. The CDC states that dementia is an “impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities.” Emma wasn’t expecting Bruce to remember the special day, but was touched when a friend sent her a bouquet of flowers. This kind gesture made her realize how hard these types of occasions can be for caregivers. She encouraged others to show compassion and support to those in similar situations, saying, “If you know someone that is looking after someone else, don’t ask what you can do, just do. This random act of kindness will honestly stay with me for a long time.”
