💨 Abstract

Emma Heming, Bruce Willis' wife, shared her emotional journey caring for him through his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. She described how Christmas traditions have changed, noting that while there is still warmth and joy, they are now intertwined with grief. Bruce, who loved Christmas, is no longer at the center of their celebrations. Emma's essay highlights the poignant reflection that holidays bring, especially when caring for someone with dementia.
