Bruce Willis' family prepares to say goodbye to the actor; they will donate his brain to research an incurable disease.
A few hours ago, her family revealed new details about her health and shared the decision they made. Here's what it's about.
What did Bruce Willis's family say about his health?
Bruce Willis's life changed dramatically in February 2023 when he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a rare, progressive disorder that affects language and behavior. Since then, the actor has received extensive specialized care and treatment.
A few weeks ago, his family reported that Bruce had been moved to another home where he is receiving 24-hour care, at the actor's own request. Although he is surrounded by the love of his family, his wife, Emma Heming-Willis, revealed that his illness continues to progress rapidly.
She confessed that Bruce is steadily losing his cognitive abilities, so the family is preparing for the inevitable and ensuring he has a dignified send-off.
"As a society, we don't think about these things. We don't think about care or our care plans, or death. But we really need to, and we shouldn't look at it with so much pessimism," Emma told USA Today.
