Emma Heming recently paid tribute to her husband Bruce Willis’ battle with frontotemporal dementia and extended support to those grappling with similar diagnoses.
Since the revelation of the Die Hard star’s FTD diagnosis, Emma has emerged as a vocal advocate for the FTD community, offering support to those affected by the neurological disorder and their caregivers.
Emma, who co-founded Make Time Wellness with her husband, Bruce Willis, has been married to the actor since 2009. Together, they share two daughters, Mabel Ray, aged 12, and Evelyn Penn, aged eight.
On Thursday, Emma took to Instagram to share a poignant tribute to Bruce, showcasing a traditional Shinto and Buddhist act of prayer performed by her and her daughters.
In the video shared, Emma displayed a wooden plaque engraved with a dragon and a red ribbon, symbolizing prayers and wishes. Clips of her daughters running through trees and a wall adorned with prayer plaques followed.
Explaining the significance of the act, Emma described “Ema” as small wooden plaques used in Japan for writing prayers or wishes, which are then hung at shrines for the spirits or gods to receive them.
“We hung our Ema holding a prayer and wish for our FTD community,” Emma wrote, alongside a blurry clip of the prayer plaque, requesting prayers for the FTD community, their family, caregivers, and strength.
