LOS ANGELES — Hollywood
star Bruce Willis, who has been diagnosed with dementia, is recuperating well,
and is said to be in a very stable place.
The information was
shared by the actor’s ex-wife, Demi Moore. The 69-year-old actor was diagnosed
with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, and Demi Moore has now shared how he's
faring amid his ongoing health problems, reports ‘Female First UK’.
The actress, who was married to the movie star between 1987
and 2000, told CNN, "I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so
sincerely. It’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this to really meet
them where they’re at, and from that place, there is such loving and joy”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Demi admitted it has been
"very difficult" to watch Bruce going through his health struggles.
The actress, who has Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with the Hollywood
star, shared, "(It's) not what I would wish upon anyone. There is great
loss, but there is also great beauty and gifts that can come from it”.
Bruce's family revealed news of his dementia diagnosis in
early 2023. They said in a statement at the time, "As a family, we wanted
to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and
compassion for Bruce over the past ten months. Your generosity of spirit has
been overwhelming, and we are tremendously grateful for it. For your kindness,
and because we know you love Bruce as much as we do, we wanted to give you an
update”.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring
2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific
diagnosis, frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges
with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this
is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis”, they said in the
statement.
