\u201cIt was one of the hardest decisions that I\u2019ve had to make so far,\u201d Emma shared. \u201cBut I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters. He would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma went on to emphasize that she and their daughters are \u201cthere a lot\u201d to be with Bruce.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our second home, so the girls have their things there,\u201d Emma shared. \u201cIt is a house that is filled with love and warmth and care and laughter. It\u2019s been beautiful to see that\u2014to see how many of Bruce\u2019s friends continue to show up for him. They bring in life and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the family has been able to make these new living arrangements work, Emma admitted that that when Bruce was first diagnosed with FTD, it took a major toll on her and their kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like what we were going through as a family, what Bruce was going through, was so singular,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI was definitely worried about sleeping and just making sure our house was secure. You have to think about your stove. You have to think about your freezer, refrigerator, the doors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma also noted that loud sounds are sometimes triggering for patients with FTD, so she decided to stop having playdates and sleepovers at their home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know if parents would feel comfortable leaving their child at our home,\u201d Emma explained. \u201cNot only was I isolated, I isolated our whole family. The girls were isolated, too, and that was by design. I was doing that. That was a hard time. That was a really hard time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also in the interview, Emma shared that she has found gratitude in the small things amid Bruce\u2018s FTD battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are with him, he lights up,\u201d Emma said. \u201cHe\u2019s holding our hands, we\u2019re kissing him. We\u2019re hugging him. He is reciprocating. He is into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all I need,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t need him to know that I am his wife, we were married on this day. I don\u2019t need any of that. I just want to feel that I have a connection with him, and I do.\u201d<\/p>\n
