When the actor’s family first gave the news that the Hollywood star had been diagnosed with a disease affecting speech, the whole world was saddened.
Many of his fans began to think that this would be the end of his career. Willis then withdrew from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with another condition, frontotemporal dementia.
His whole family, regardless of the situation, never left you. His wife Emma Heming, his Ex-wife Demi Moore, and all the children were supporters.
“Bruce can’t say much, and it doesn’t appear like he understands much of what people say,” so Emma serves as his spokesperson and communicator.
Bruce’s third-born daughter, Tallulah, penned an emotional essay in Vogue earlier this week in which she spoke of her father’s health struggles during recent years and how that affected the family.
“He had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me. Although this could not have been further from the truth, my adolescent brain tortured itself with some faulty math: I’m not beautiful enough for my mother, I’m not interesting enough for my father,” Tallulah began her letter.
“I admit that I have met Bruce’s decline in recent years with a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of. The truth is that I was too sick myself to handle it.
“For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa, which I’ve been reluctant to talk about because, after getting sober at age 20, restricting food has felt like the last vice that I got to hold on to.”
Nor was she fighting her own demons and struggling to make things right when it came to her personal life, her father was fighting his own battle no one was aware of at the time.
“All kinds of cognitive testing was being conducted, but we didn’t have an acronym yet,” Tallulah continued.
“I remember a moment when it hit me painfully: I was at a wedding in the summer of 2021 on Martha’s Vineyard, and the bride’s father made a moving speech. Suddenly I realized that I would never get that moment, my dad spoke about me in adulthood at my wedding.
“It was devastating. I left the dinner table, stepped outside, and wept in the bushes.”
She concluded her emotional letter writing, “He may always know who I am, give or take the occasional bad day.
“I know that trials are looming, that this is the beginning of grief.
“It feels like a unique and special time in my family, and I’m just so glad to be here for it.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bruce Willis and his family.
