Months after Bruce Willis' debilitating aphasia diagnosis, the legendary actor's wife, Emma Heming Willis, is opening up about her grief.
On Tuesday, the model shared an Instagram video montage, which depicted various activities she's been doing over the summer to cope with her husband's illness.
"This was the summer of self discovery – finding new hobbies, going out of my comfort zone and staying active," she captioned the post, which featured clips of her gardening, working out, playing tennis and painting. "My grief can be paralyzing but I'm learning how to live along side it. As my step-daughter @scoutlaruewillis told me, grief is the deepest and purest form of love. I hope you find some comfort in that too."
To accompany the video montage, she used Aretha Franklin's classic 1968 song "I Say a Little Prayer for You."

"As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."
Emma and Bruce married in 2009. The couple has two daughters together.
