How did the adventure began with the forehead
In 2022, the family announced that the star of the films “Die Hard” and “Sixth Sense” was retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia – a brain disorder that affects the ability to speak and understand.
“For someone who was very talkative and active, it was just a little more quieter. And when the family was gathering, he was lost, “the businessman and model noted, referring to the first symptoms of her husband.
“It seemed distant, cold, nothing to do with Bruce, which was always warm and tender. Seeing the exact opposite was worrying and scary, “he explained.
A year later, it was announced that the famous actor had been diagnosed with Frontal Dementia (FTD).
When Emma first learned the diagnosis, “I was so panicked that I just remember listening to her and then listening to nothing else. It was like falling into a vacuum. “
The love story Bruce – Were
The famous couple met in 2007 and married two years later, in a romantic ceremony in the actor’s private villa. They have had two daughters, 13 -year -old Mibel and 11 -year -old Evelin. Despite the difficulties, the family still sees moments from Willis’ personality and the “glow in his eyes”.
“We don’t have days … but we have moments. It’s his laugh, you know? It has such a strong, source laugh. And sometimes you see that glow in his eyes or the smile and I feel like I’m moving elsewhere, “his wife said.
“And it’s hard to see, because as fast as these moments appear, they get lost so fast. It’s hard. But I’m grateful. I am grateful that my husband is still here with us, “he added.
According to the Guardian, Heming has recorded her experience as a protagonist’s career in the book “Unexpected Journey” released on September 9th.
