Emma Willis returns to present This Morning with Rylan Clark<\/h3>\n

Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, has shared that she’s trying to put herself “back together” after attending a dementia summit.<\/p>\n

This comes in the wake of her husband’s diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).<\/p>\n

The Die Hard star, 68, stepped back from acting earlier this year due to his health struggles.<\/p>\n

Emma, who married Bruce in 2009, has been his primary caregiver and continues to raise awareness about FTD. She recently took a short break to attend a research summit on the condition.<\/p>\n

After the event, she posted a video of herself walking on a beach, captioning it: “Putting my brain back together after a day of learning about FTD biomarkers. Made time for a walk.”<\/p>\n

Emma shared more about the importance of biomarkers, writing: “Biomarkers would be game-changing. It would mean earlier diagnosis that would have such a positive and profound snowball effect for this community.”<\/p>\n

She also mentioned Michael J Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at 29 in 1991.<\/p>\n

Emma wrote about his announcement of the discovery of biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease, penning “Early this year Michael J Fox announced the discovery of biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease. This is such an exciting and incredible breakthrough.<\/p>\n

“They attended the Holloway Summit to share their learnings with the FTD science community. It’s beautiful to see the collaboration all in one room. It’s a hopeful time,” she concluded.<\/p>\n

In March 2022, Bruce’s family announced his health issues and aphasia diagnosis.<\/p>\n

They said: “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.”<\/p>\n

“As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”<\/p>\n

In October, it was revealed that Bruce is now “not totally verbal” following his heartbreaking dementia diagnosis.<\/p>\n

  Glenn Gordon Caron, a film creator who worked with Bruce in the 80s, spoke to Page Six and said: “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am.<\/p>\n

  “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader – he didn’t want anyone to know that – and he’s not reading now.”<\/p>\n

  Glenn added: “All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”<\/p>\n

  “When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there, but the joie de vivre is gone,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
