Overview

• In a Sept. 9 Good Morning America interview tied to her new book, Emma Heming Willis called the relocation the safest, best choice for Bruce Willis and their two young daughters, saying the decision is “not up for a debate.”
• Her memoir, The Unexpected Journey, released Tuesday, details the family’s caregiving plan and explains preparing the children for their father’s eventual death based on what she learned about FTD progression.
• She previously disclosed in an ABC special that Willis now lives in a nearby one‑story home with round‑the‑clock care designed for a calm environment, where the family visits regularly for shared time together.
• Heming Willis said a neurologist’s warning that caregivers can die before their loved ones pushed her to bring in professional help and to speak out about caregiver judgment and burnout.
• She described Willis as still mobile and in overall good health but losing speech because of FTD, noting the family has adapted how they communicate with him.
