Bruce Willis‘ health continues to make headlines in the U.S. media. The actor’s situation remains unclear after his first diagnosis came to light. The American actor suffers from aphasia and a form of dementia.
Any progress or setbacks are communicated by his family or friends through statements. For this reason, last Sunday, his wife, Emma Heming ‘exploded’ when she read a headline.
His loved ones remain focused on finding the best treatment for Bruce Willis and closely follow his evolution together with the medical services. His wife asks this type of portals not to frivolize with such a serious subject.
“I was surfing the net, minding my own business and I see a headline about my family. The headline said ‘no more joy in my husband,’” Heming explained.
Willis‘ wife asks them to think about people’s situation and what they may feel when they read information of this kind. Even more so, when the news does not correspond to reality.
“I can only say that it is very far from reality. I need society and whoever is writing these stupid headlines to stop scaring people,” she continues.
Emma Heming calls for empathy: Be aware and dig deep
Heming understands that it is a difficult disease to understand and only those who have to deal with it every day end up understanding the different steps and manifestations of the disease.
That is why he asks the authors of these articles to inform themselves: “Be aware of how you are portraying your history with dementia to the public and dig deeper. There are organizations and specialists who can be consulted in a calm manner.”
