Emma Heming Willis has been through a lot since her husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with aphasia earlier last year, causing him to retire from the film industry.
Unfortunately, the veteran actor’s condition took a turn for the worse when he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, FTD, last month.
The situation immediately led Emma to work with a dementia specialist, with whom she spoke frankly, expressing appreciation for such an opportunity.
Emma Heming Willis Has Added ‘Dementia Care Toolbox’ Thanks to Dementia Specialists
Caring for someone with dementia is no easy task, and Emma can attest to that, given her partner’s worsening condition. She has been working to increase her knowledge in that aspect by working with dementia specialist Teepa Snow who she sings the praises of in a new Instagram post.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with @teepasnows_pac, who has helped me add to my dementia care toolbox,” the mother-of-two began after uploading a beautiful photo of herself with the elderly woman.
Continuing the praise for Snow, he wrote, “She is a caring, compassionate and skilled leader who navigates herself with genuine empathy. He’s a gift.” Emma then urged her followers to visit the link in her bio to check out the experienced babysitter’s website, which she noted, “has a lot of caregiving information that you might find useful too.”
The ladies seem to share a happy bond as they look cozy with each other in the pictures, featuring them dressed casually in denim shorts and long-sleeved gray shirts. Shortly after the post went up, Snow heaped praise on the model for doing “an absolutely incredible job of providing the right support for Bruce,” whose abilities have “changed” given his condition.
He explained that frontotemporal dementia is never easy, but with the right support and programming, it is possible to continue “living.” In conclusion, the health expert congratulated Emma and the Willis family for their hard work and dedication, which he felt was “absolutely incredible.”
Bruce’s wife thanked him for the words of support he offered in response, adding that the community is grateful to have someone like Snow. Several other commenters only had kind words for Emma, including one who praised the “inspirational” way she and her family handled everything.
Another follower exclaimed, “We are all here for you!! It’s great that you learned from @teepasnows_pac. He is the best.” A fellow supporter declared that there was “so much love and support” for Willis in the Wood River Valley, while a fifth commenter thanked Emma for showing fans how her husband is doing.
They wrote, “I’m grateful that you (Emma) told Bruce Willis fans about his condition; also, thanks for teaching us about this horrible disease. I love the post.”
In February, the “Die Hard” actor’s family released a statement about how critical his condition was. The statement also indicates that communication problems are one of the many symptoms that the movie star has to deal with.
It began, “We want to give you an update on our beloved husband, father, and friend as we now have a better understanding of what he is going through.”
They continued with a sad revelation about the 67-year-old’s FTD diagnosis, writing, “since we announced Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in the spring of 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the illness Bruce is dealing with. As painful as this was, it was a relief to finally get a clear diagnosis.”
