Emma Heming Willis is doing her best in the midst of her husband Bruce Willis’ dementia. The media personality recently revealed her vulnerable condition to inspire others in the same shoes.
The “Die Hard” star’s wife has been outspoken about her struggles, often raising awareness about the dos and don’ts of caring for people with frontotemporal dementia. Although she continues to support the Hollywood veteran with their two children, the brunette tries to stay healthy.
In her latest health update, the runway alum asked her followers, especially care partners, to share images of what they find beautiful. Following an array of positive responses, the former model became emotional, reflecting on the importance of living in the moment and dealing with the pressures of her responsibilities.
Emma Heming Willis Reveals She Needs ‘Conscious Effort’ Every Day To Live Her Best Life
Through her Instagram, the participant of “The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” was candid about her private life as the main caretaker of her husband. He began a long conversation by thanking the care partner for sharing a variety of beautiful photos following his prompting.
After the hike, the mother of two filmed herself in the car. The 45-year-old revealed he was “delighted” with the photos he received, saying the reason behind the exercise was to help himself and his care partner.
“So why did I tell you to do that? I asked my care partner to send me a picture because I think it’s really important for us to break our thoughts,” Emma explained. “That can feel to me so much like doom and gloom.”
Although he left Bruce behind to embrace nature for his hike, the Maltese native explained that his actions were selfless. According to the entertainer, the happy moments he shares on social media are far from what he actually feels inside.
“So I know it looks like I’m living my best life. I have to make a conscious effort every day to live the best life I can,” the former model admitted, her voice hoarse from unshed tears filling her eyes.
Fighting back the pain, the media personality declared: “I did it for myself. I did that for our two children and Bruce, who wouldn’t want me to live any other way. So I don’t want it to be mistaken for me being good. Because I don’t. I’m not good.”
Although her heart is broken, the wife of the “Death Became Him” actor stated that she cannot be moved for the sake of her loved ones. The most effective way for the brunette to take care of her family effectively is to be in the best condition.
“I have to give the best for myself and my family. Because again, when we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of anyone we love,” Emma claimed, advising viewers to prioritize their well-being.

Reaffirming that making time for his health is a challenging task; the 45-year-old says he’s “doing the best” he can and uses photo prompts to help care partners do the same.
“I know that your day is stressful. I know that your day is hard. But I just want you to take a break. Take a moment and find something beautiful,” Emma concluded her post, flashing a charming smile to the audience.
Potential Drug For FTD Fails To Live Up To ‘Red 2′ Actors’ Expectations
Emma’s latest post isn’t the first time the former model has opened up about her struggles. In May, the mother of two updated her Instagram followers about a possible frontotemporal dementia drug that failed its clinical trials.
The 45-year-old shared a video of himself at home reading from a blacked-out screen and appeared frustrated by the content. The media personality explained he had come across an article detailing a “potential treatment drug” for FTD.
Unfortunately, the drug did not pass its clinical trials. Complaining about the results, Emma stated it was “absolutely a blow because there are no drugs that can treat FTD, only drugs that can treat the symptoms.”

In the second video, the “Perfect Stranger” actor stated that he did not want to end his message on a negative note. According to the mother of two, the article continues with hopes for future improvements.
Although clinical trials of the drug have not revealed medical benefits to those with FTD or ALS, the trial results are claimed to “chart a promising path toward future treatments.”
