His wife, Emma Heming Willis, marked the day with a throwback photo from happier times and promoted their research fund to support FTD awareness and caregivers. Emma noted that Bruce remains very present in his body physically, even as his mind declines. She encouraged fans to donate to the fund or check in on caregivers as a way to honor him. Family life brings tough moments with insiders calling the daily changes gut wrenching. Bruce never fully grasped his condition, which started as aphasia back in 2022, leading to his acting retirement. Doctors later identified it as progressive fronto temporal dementia the next year. Emma has focused on adapting and meeting him where he is. To give their daughters a stable home, she moved Bruce to a nearby house with around the clock care. She said it aligns with what he would have wanted for the girls.
