Moore provided some words of advice with people coping with similar issues as herself and her family. “I think the most important thing I could share is just to meet them where they’re at,” she said. “When you let go of who they’ve been or who you think, or even who you would like them to be, you can then really stay in the present and take in the joy and the love that is present and there for all that they are –– not all that they’re not.”

Moore was promoting her new show, “Feud: Capote vs The Swans” and was on the stage alongside her co-stars, who approved and admired her message.

Willis was diagnosed with aphasia around two years ago. The condition is known for patients having trouble understanding and producing speech. More recently, Willis’ condition has been reassessed, with him having frontotemporal dementia, which is also known for affecting speech.
