The book distills practical safety steps and caregiver support from her family’s experience.

Overview

  • Published on Nov. 12, “Eine ganz besondere Reise” (“The Unexpected Journey”) is presented as a hands‑on guide for families caring for loved ones with dementia.
  • Heming Willis says Bruce now lives in a nearby residence with 24/7 professional care to ensure his safety and preserve a normal home environment for their daughters.
  • She outlines measures such as securing all doors, adding child‑locks to stoves, locking refrigerators, and removing black items that some people with dementia may perceive as holes.
  • She recounts leaving the initial diagnosis without a treatment plan and urges stronger support systems for caregivers and the aging population.
