Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming opened up about her raw feelings and thoughts after her husband was diagnosed with dementia.
The wife of the legendary actor admitted to grief expert and author David Kessler that she felt “anger and rage” after Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, via Radaronline.com.
It is pertinent to mention that the 70-year-old actor retired from acting in 2022 amid his battle with aphasia.
In the touching conversation, Emma told the expert: “When we received the diagnosis, you know, we left with nothing. No hope, no support, no road map.
“It was just ‘check back in a few months’ and we were sent on our way.”
She went on to say, “And I thought, ‘How could that be? How are people being diagnosed and pushed out the door without support?’
And this question became her inspiration to write a book and share her experience in her memoir, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.
In addition, Emma also dished about her feelings she went through after Bruce’s diagnosis.
She wrote: “The most jarring to me was the anger and resentment I started to feel. I had so much shame and just felt like a terrible person for having these feelings.”
