Translator of His Silence".. Bruce Willis Loses Ability to Speak"
Bruce Willis and Emma Heming

Emma Heming: "Bruce and I Now Have Our Own Language" Emma Heming: "Willis’ Illness Completely Changed Our Lives"

Emma explained that Willis’s illness has completely changed their lives, leaving her in a state of anxiety and instability, especially since the star lives alone under the supervision of a specialized medical team in his home, while she and their daughters reside in a separate house.

“Love remains unaffected”

Nevertheless, Emma emphasized that their love has not been affected, saying: “Bruce and I now have our own language. It’s not about words, but sitting with him, walking alongside him, and observing his facial expressions, body movements, and the looks in his eyes that tell me how he feels.”

“Translator of his silence”

She added that she is preparing to publish her memoir titled “The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Self on the Caregiving Path”, in which she recounts her daily life with Willis during his illness and how she transformed from being a wife into a companion, friend, and translator of his silence.

Bruce Willis, 70, has been suffering from dementia since 2022, after being diagnosed with a loss of speech, which led him to retire from acting. Since then, his family has been careful to protect him from media exposure and to provide a safe environment that offers comfort and reassurance, away from any potential impact on his distinguished artistic career.
