THE fate was unhappy with Bruce Willisa cinema giant who found himself living with an illness from which there is no way out. He went from being diagnosed with aphasia to having frontotemporal dementia: his memories are increasingly fleeting, but his wonderful family takes care to keep his memory alive. His wife Emma, his beloved daughters and you too, Demi Moore. A woman who was his life partner for many years, with whom it ended but remained was a love that simply transformed. The actress never stopped being by his side and lived with him through these difficult months of illness.
Demi Moore’s words on Bruce Willis’ illness
Received a major career award atHamptons International Film FestivalDemi Moore took the opportunity to talk about Bruce Willis again. The relationship with the actor was very important to both of them, and it didn’t matter if the marriage ended in 2000. Moore never thought for a moment about not supporting him in most complicated moment of his life.
Bruce Willis, as expected, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and this forced him to abandon a job which brought him so much and which for him was truly a fundamental element of existence. We cannot count his successes, nor the deep love and admiration that the public has always had for him and, looking at the support of his family, we see to what extent he aroused the same feelings in them too.
No cure can save him, but being surrounded by so much love is certainly a great relief. For his wife Emma Heming, for his daughters Rumer, Tallulah and Scout and also for Moore herself, there is another element that can only be taken into account: a silent and loving resignation.
“The disease is what it is, we must be realistic in accepting it – he said -. In its current state, it is stable. When you look back, what you were, it’s a losing battle. If, however, we accept their current state, we discover great beauty and great gentleness. Words which, inevitably, provoked long and warm applause from the public present at the Festival.
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, endless love
Fairy tales do not exist in reality and we are well aware of this. It’s always pleasant to imagine these romantic loves in which a happy ending is required, this “forever” which seals something indissoluble. But nothing, in fact, is.
Love can end, even after many years of living together and giving birth to beautiful daughters, as was the case for Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. But it is also true that sometimes it simply transforms. When she learned of her ex-husband’s illness, the actress did not hesitate and decided to stay close to him so as not to miss a single moment with him. The actor finds it increasingly difficult to remember and she wants to make her own contribution build new memories, even brief onesindelible at least for those who remain.
