Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming, shares a message of grief while paying tribute to their 17th anniversary on Instagram. The model marked the special day of when they started dating by sharing a photo of them at sunset on the beach. Emma writes, ‘Anniversaries used to bring excitement. Now, if I’m honest, they stir up all the feelings, leaving a heaviness in my heart and a pit in my stomach. I give myself 30 minutes to sit in the ‘why him, why us,’ to feel the anger and grief.’ In 2022, Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a progressive neurological disorder that impacts both cognition and behavior.
