Overview
- The book, titled “Eine ganz besondere Reise,” spans more than 350 pages and blends personal narrative with interviews with doctors, nurses, researchers, and support groups.
- Heming Willis describes the initial diagnosis as traumatic, saying they left the doctor with no plan, no hope, and no clear path forward.
- She explains the decision to move Bruce Willis into a nearby second house to provide continuous care while maintaining a stable home for their daughters.
- Early behavioral changes were initially misread as relationship problems before aphasia was identified in early 2022 and a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis followed later that year.
- Positioning the book as a lifeline, she urges caregiver self‑care and calls for better information and systemic support as she promotes the release through media appearances.
