The Unexpected Journey: Emma Heming Willis on Caregiving, Love, and Resilience
Podcast: Next Question with Katie CouricPublished On: Wed Sep 24 2025
Description: When Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, Emma Heming Willis’s life changed overnight. In this intimate conversation, she tells Katie about the early whispers of the disease, why getting a diagnosis was both a blessing and a curse, and how she’s helping their two young daughters navigate this “long goodbye.” Emma opens up about the guilt of taking a family trip without Bruce, the stigma caregivers face when making impossible decisions, and why she believes asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Along the way, she shares lessons from her new book The Unexpected Journey—practical tools, expert insights, and the emotional wisdom she wishes she’d had in the early days.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
