Emma Heming-Willis, the wife of actor Bruce Willis, is planning a guide on dementia.
The book is intended to provide initial support to affected families.
Bruce Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

The book is scheduled to be published in 2025.

In an interview with
The Sunday Paper
, Willis' wife confirmed that it was important to present possible information and assistance in simple language and easy to find.
She knows from her own experience that the stories are often similar.
After your husband was diagnosed with the disease, she would not have received the support she wanted.

Bruce Willis: Book about dementia after diagnosis
In 2022, Bruce Willis' family made it public that the actor was retiring from filmmaking due to aphasia, a disorder that causes difficulty speaking.
A year later she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
Emma Heming-Willis, said the
Guardian
, hopes that with her book, "care partners, especially new care partners who have just received this life-changing news... should know that they are not alone and that there is support, even hope.
In a perfect world, I would see this book in every doctor’s office.”
