Emma’s Instagram Posts

In her latest Instagram post shared on Sunday, Emma Heming rejects the headlines that claimed that “Die Hard” star has no more joy after his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Emma said that the headlines are far from the truth. She also mentioned that society and the people who are writing such “stupid headlines” should stop scaring people. Emma also said that the perception of people and society on neurocognitive diseases needs to be changed.

She asks them to stop scaring people. Emma said that these headlines are making people think that once they are diagnosed with some neurocognitive diseases then everything is done and there is nothing left for them. She assures that it is the opposite. Heming said that even when health issues brought grief and sadness to her family, they also shared love, connection, joy, and happiness. She wrapped up by asking the media to stop such stupid headlines. She also asked them to stay away saying that there is nothing to see in their lives.

Emma wrote about her experiences in the captions of the two video posts. She wrote that two things can be true and exist at the same time. She mentioned contradictory emotions like grief and deep love, sadness and deep connection, and trauma and resilience. She revealed that she had to come out of her way to reach the current state. Emma said that after this life started to come together with meaning and she had a true sense of her purpose. 

Emma said that people are being educated by the wrong means. She said that the people who didn’t take the time to educate themselves on any kind of neurocognitive diseases educate others with the opinions they have. She confirms this based on the headlines and blurbs of misinformation she has come across on the topic. 

In the follow-up post, Emma wrote that such headlines were discouraging to the people caring for the ones affected with dementia as they are already having a tough go in the support department.  She said that such headlines that paint a constant doom and gloom picture are harmful to the caregivers as they are trying hard to build a support unit around them. She asks people to reframe the negative narratives regarding dementia as it would be kind and generous to the caregivers and their loved ones.
