In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZwPHoC7sEZg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America<\/a>, Heming further explained her decision against any nay-sayers who might not have had to cope with a loved one with a serious disease. She shared how living separately \u201cwas the safest and best decision \u2014 not just for Bruce, but also for our two young girls\u201d \u2014 they have two daughters together, ages 13 and 11. \u201cAnd, you know, it\u2019s really not up for a debate,\u201d Heming continues. \u201cNow I know that Bruce has the best care 100% of the time. His needs are met 100% of the time, as well as our two young daughters\u2019. So I\u2019m not gonna take a vote on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmfd4jqum00283b74bj6xbn0w@published\" data-word-count=\"134\">For caregivers and their families, the changes that come with having a loved one with dementia can be extremely difficult, especially for young children. Heming says that loud noises can be a trigger for Willis, making it difficult for their daughters to have play dates. Dementia can cause memory loss with a possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimers.org.uk\/about-dementia\/stages-and-symptoms\/dementia-symptoms\/aggressive-behaviour-and-dementia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">aggressive behavior<\/a> due to confusion as it progresses. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll say that dementia plays out differently in every household. If you\u2019ve seen one case of dementia, it\u2019s one case of dementia,\u201d she shares. \u201cSo you have to do what is right for your family and what is going to keep your loved one safe.\u201d She confirms that as a family, they visit Willis regularly, spending meals with him. Heming concludes, \u201cEverything just feels a lot calmer, more at ease now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: John Nacion\/WireImage After Emma Heming Willis revealed that her husband Bruce Willis is living in a separate&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[25093,434,435,868,18,31593,117,135,19,17,5],"class_list":{"0":"post-54115","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-bruce-willis","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-celebrity","11":"tag-dementia","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-emma-heming-willis","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-health","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
