His wife, Emma Heming Willis, opened up in a candid way about the strain the situation put on her. She explained that she has trouble asking for help as a caregiver.
In a YouTube video, she said: "Usually what tends to happen is the friend asks what they can do to help, but that just puts another added task on a caregiver to have to dictate, then teach and most times we just don’t have the bandwidth for it. But what I know is we do need help and we do need to learn to ask for it because if we don’t it is not sustainable."
