Welcome to PBS Books!
The best way to care for other people is by making sure you're able to take care of yourself. It makes you a better caregiver. Watch as Emma Heming Willis shares her own experience of caring for herself and her husband, Bruce Willis, while they manage his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.

Book: "The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path" by Emma Heming Willis

Heming Willis—an advocate, mother, stepmother, wife, and co-founder of Make Time Wellness—brings honesty, empathy, and hope to this essential conversation, led by Heather-Marie Montilla, PBS Books National Director.

This event is part of the PBS Books Caregiving series, made possible with support from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.
