Unexpected Journey: An Evening with Emma Heming Willis

Join us for a meaningful and heartfelt evening with Emma Heming Willis, advocate, caregiver, and author of the new book The Unexpected Journey, as she shares her personal experience caring for Bruce Willis.

Emma will speak openly about the realities of caregiving—the challenges, the grief, the love, and the resilience required when life takes an unexpected turn. Her story offers comfort, insight, and hope to caregivers, family members, and anyone whose life has been touched by memory loss or serious illness.
Rooted in compassion and community—values deeply aligned with Jewish teachings of kavod, chesed, and caring for one another—this evening is for:
Caregivers and care partners
Adult children supporting aging parents
Families navigating Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia
Anyone seeking understanding, connection, and strength
Following the event, Emma Heming Willis will be available for a book signing. If you would like to pre-order a copy of The Unexpected Journey, you may do so on the registration form below.
Space is limited. Registration is required at https://www.temple-israel.org/event/emmahemingwillis. We are happy to offer this event free of charge to Temple members, and ask for a suggested donation of $18 for non-members.

This event is supported by the Stanford & Roselyn Komisar Blanck Fund for Elderly and Aging Support.
*PLEASE NOTE: This event will take place in Birmingham. The address and any additional details will be shared directly with registered participants via email the week of the event.
