Emma Heming Willis on Caring for Bruce Willis Through Dementia and Finding Joy Again

from Making Space with Hoda Kotb · host Emma Heming Willis, Hoda Kotb

Most people spend their lives trying to follow a clear roadmap, but model, author, and advocate Emma Heming Willis believes that life's hardest seasons are often where we find our true purpose. In this deeply moving conversation from Making Space, Emma sits down with Hoda Kotb to pull back the curtain on navigating her husband Bruce Willis's frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis, breaking through the heavy isolation of caregiving, and learning how to ask for help before the ecosystem of care bottoms out. She and Hoda explore the delicate balance between grief and joy, embracing spontaneity, and allowing cracks of light to shine through matter in a world that often feels heavy.
