Bruce Willis’s family opens up about his battle with frontotemporal dementia, a devastating brain disorder that erodes communication and behavior — not memory, as in Alzheimer’s. His wife Emma reveals the heart-wrenching reality of caregiving while managing constant grief, aided by a dedicated team. Bruce’s specific form of FTD includes anosognosia, which paradoxically eases some burdens. Emma’s candid memoir and new fund aim to spotlight this underrecognized disease, while daughter Rumer shares tender moments and urges awareness — as FTD affects far more families than most realize. After announcing Bruce’s retirement in 2022 and diagnosis in 2023, the family now fights to bring global attention to this silent crisis.
