Bruce Willis' Wife Launches Caregiver Support Project Amid Ongoing Health Battle

In November 2025, Emma Heming, the wife of actor Bruce Willis, has turned to her fans for help with a new "passion project" she is embarking on amid her husband's ongoing health battle. Willis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2023, followed by frontotemporal dementia (FTD) earlier this year.

Heming, who has been Bruce's primary caregiver since his diagnosis, has become an advocate for people suffering from FTD and their families. In September 2025, she released a book titled "The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path," which she describes as "a deeply personal and richly compassionate supportive guide that helps caregivers care for themselves while they navigate a loved one's dementia."

Now, Heming is looking to expand her support efforts by starting a new community project. She believes that when caregivers share their stories, it not only makes the next caregiver feel seen and validated, but it also supports them. Heming is asking her followers to send reflective emails based on two prompts: "What would you tell your younger caregiving self just starting this journey?" and "How did you get the support you needed from family and friends?"

Heming hopes that by compiling these stories, she can create a space for caregivers to feel heard, learn from each other, and find the support they need during this challenging time. She emphasizes that everything shared will be kept confidential and read only by her and her team.
