Overview
- In a personal post published on her website on December 23, Emma Heming Willis reflects on how holiday celebrations have changed since Bruce Willis’s diagnosis.
- She recalls Bruce once leading the festivities, from making Christmas-morning pancakes to playing in the snow, and says she now takes on those roles herself.
- Emma writes that grief can surface during simple tasks like decorating or wrapping gifts, yet the family still gathers for presents, breakfast, movies, and moments of joy.
- Bruce Willis was first diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, and he now lives in a separate residence with professional caregivers.
- Emma has sought to raise awareness through a September book release and public appearances, including defending the family’s care decisions after criticism in November.
