Overview

  • On The Oprah Podcast, Moore called it difficult to watch Willis shift with dementia and urged loved ones to meet him where he is and stay present.
  • Winfrey’s episode centers on Emma Heming Willis discussing her caregiving experience and FTD awareness as she prepares to release The Unexpected Journey on Sept. 9.
  • Emma said her hardest choice was relocating Willis to a nearby one-story house staffed with a full-time care team, noting she brings their daughters to visit often.
  • Following an ABC special with Diane Sawyer, Emma defended the move on Instagram, saying caregivers are frequently judged by those without firsthand experience.
  • Willis retired in 2022 after an aphasia diagnosis; in 2023 the family said his condition progressed to frontotemporal dementia, which affects language and personality.
