The family of Bruce Willis has made a vow to make the upcoming Holiday season the most special and memorable yet. The Die Hard star was sadly diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 and has recently been experiencing a significant health decline as his disease continues to progress.
FTD is a rare condition that causes problems with behavior and language as it progresses and impacts memory and physical ability. Bruce’s condition has progressed to the point that the actor now needs 24/7 in-home care.
Bruce Willis spends his days surrounded by his loved ones, who primarily take turns caring for him. His large group of adoring female family supporters includes his wife, Emma; their two young daughters, Mabel and Evelyn; his three adult daughters, Rumor, Tallulah, and Scout; and his ex-wife, Demi Moore.
The actor doesn’t get out much these days, and when he does, he requires a team of caregivers to ensure his safety. Most days are challenging for the struggling actor. However, Bruce Willis and his family have shown remarkable resilience, banding together to make the best of a heartbreaking situation.
For the past several months, the women have sadly watched Bruce’s condition gradually worsen. It has come to the point that the women worry they may not have much more time with Bruce left.
Bruce Willis’ condition has reached the point where, at times, he no longer recognizes those closest to him. The family reveals that the holidays are Bruce’s favorite times, so they have vowed to make this year the best yet.
According to a previous Closer magazine reports, the family plans to continue with their traditions. However, they plan to make this Christmas extra special. Bruce still has moments of clarity, and they hope to share some memorable experiences with him.
Making The Most Of Cherished Family Memories With Bruce Willis
Brigada News adds a family informant reveals that the women are busy making holiday plans. Demi and the girls are busy planning a sing-a-long with Mabel and Evelyn. While Emma is making plans for cozy movie nights featuring Bruce’s classic films.
At times, Bruce still recognizes the scenes and gets excited to share some details he recalls. These are the moments that the women cherish the most, so according to the source, they plan to soak up as many as possible.
“This is as beautiful as it is sad. I love that they are making every minute count. They will look back one day and be glad they have the memories” states one fan.
Emma Heming, Willis’ wife, recently shared an honest and emotional health update revealing the difficulties she and the family endure while caring for the actor. Heming’s Instagram update revealed a diagram with the caption, “Looks about right.” It includes the words “anxious,” “nervous,” and “confused.”
It is not always easy for the family to cope with. However, they try to maintain a positive attitude. They admit they have accepted that the disease is, what the disease is, and the outcome is heartbreaking. But, they all agree that it is how you spend all the moments in between that is the most important.
