On one hand, it’s who we are as a family, but also, it’s really important for us to spread awareness,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>She highlighted: &quot;If we can take something that we’re struggling with as a family to help other people, to turn it around to make something beautiful about it, that’s really special for us.&quot;</p><p>&quot;And part of what’s been a really beautiful way for me to heal through this is becoming like an archeologist to my dad’s world, to his little trinkets and doo-dads.&quot;</p><p>It was in February 2023 when Bruce&#x27;s family revealed that the latter has been diagnosed with dementia.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cou_bUMPl0p/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A15363234.599999994%2C%22ls%22%3A14842514.700000003%2C%22le%22%3A14842518.599999994%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1258" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;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,&quot; his family said in a press statement.</p><p>The family remarked that they decided to be open about it to bring attention to the condition.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/17/bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-dementia-his-family-reveals-1323" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Bruce Willis diagnosed with dementia, his family reveals</strong></a></div><p>&quot;Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately,&quot; they said.</p><p>The family continued: &quot;We know in our hearts that—if he could today—he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families.&quot;</p>
