Earlier this week, Heming and Willis celebrated their sixteenth wedding anniversary to mark the occasion.
Even though she is sobbing, Emma Heming is rejoicing.
In spite of the fact that she had just celebrated her sixteenth wedding anniversary with Bruce Willis and were in the midst of enjoying the Christmas holiday this week, the former model ultimately found herself in tears.
Heming admitted that she had a “good cry” when she was on the phone with one of her buddies in a video that she uploaded on Instagram on Thursday. Within the video, Heming, who has been Willis’ main caregiver ever since he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, expressed her feelings in an open and honest manner on the feelings that she has been experiencing at this time of the year.
According to Heming, “Holidays are difficult, and anniversaries are difficult.” This year, however, I have found that it has been mostly about community. Creating a community and making connections, and I just want to say that this has been my lifeline, and I just want to express my gratitude to you for those things.
In addition to the video, Heming provided more explanation on the significance of having a “inner circle,” which she claimed to have discovered on Instagram.
“Bruce refers to it as the ‘inner circle.’ We are blessed to have individuals in our life that we can call, trust, and depend on. These are the folks we could not live without. I am fortunate enough to have a group of individuals by my side who are not able to provide a solution to the problem but are able to just listen to me. And it is of immense assistance,” she added. There is also a member of the inner circle present on this channel. In the course of the previous year, it was very necessary for me to eventually be able to establish connections and communities. In addition, you have arrived. There are people from all walks of life that have the same sad thread that binds us together.
She went on to say, “Because Bruce is so well-liked, I am getting an overwhelming number of messages of love and support.” He is showered with it, and I am lucky enough to be standing underneath it in order to collect those raindrops that, despite their appearance, seem like a cascade of compassion. I wish I could respond to everyone of the letters since they are profound, unfiltered, and lyrical; but, I want you to know that I love and appreciate each and every one of them. Additionally, it lowers my sense of isolation. Sincerely, I am thankful to you.
When Heming and the actor from Die Hard celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, she posted a heartfelt message on Instagram to commemorate the occasion.
He has been my companion for sixteen years. One of the things that Heming wrote next to a picture of her kissing her spouse on the cheek was, “My love and adoration for him only grows in the future.”
A few photographs that were quite similar to one another were posted by Heming on her Instagram Story. One of the photos was of her spouse cuddling up to her, and she labeled it with the word “smitten.”
It was in 2007 that Heming and Willis first met, and they were married in 2009. Both Mabel, who is 11 years old, and Evelyn, who is 9 years old, are the couple’s kids. In addition, Bruce is the father of three children from his former marriage to Demi Moore. Rumer, who is 35 years old, Scout, who is 32 years old, and Tallulah, who is 29 years old.
Willis is now battling frontotemporal dementia, often known as FTD, and as a result, aphasia, which is a brain-mediated inability to speak or to interpret speech. Heming’s touching anniversary messages come into the midst of Willis’ continuous struggle with both of these conditions.
Heming said in September that having Willis diagnosed with FTD has been difficult, but that they are making progress in spite of the difficulties.
It is difficult not just for the individual who has been diagnosed, but also for their family. The same can be said about Bruce, myself, and our daughters; there is no difference. The statement that this is a condition that runs in families is accurate, according to Heming.
