Emma Heming shares ‘paralyzing’ grief amid Bruce Willis’ aphasia

Emma Heming is “learning to live alongside” her grief after her husband Bruce Willis’ aphasia diagnosis.

The model, 44, posted an Instagram video of herself gardening and working out in honor of National Grief Awareness Day on Tuesday.

“This was the summer of self discovery—finding new hobbies, going out of my comfort zone and staying active,” Heming told her followers.

“My grief can be paralyzing but I’m learning how to live along side it.”

The actress went on to share wisdom from Willis’ 31-year-old daughter, Scout, writing, “Grief is the deepest and purest form of love. I hope you find some comfort in that too.”

Scout and her sisters, Rumer, 34, and Tallulah, 28, helped Heming reveal the actor’s diagnosis in a joint March Instagram post. Their mom, Demi Moore, posted the same social media message.

“Our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia,” the family wrote of the condition “impacting his cognitive abilities,” which is characterized by the loss of ability to understand or express speech.

“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” they continued at the time.

The family members went on to share their intention to move forward as a “strong … unit.”

Heming, who shares daughters Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8, with the “Armageddon” star, wished her partner a happy Father’s Day three months later.

After calling the Emmy winner a “fun, loving, generous, big hearted girl dad” in the June social media upload, she concluded, “We simply adore you.”

Caring for the “Moonlighting” alum and their children has taken a “toll” on the Heming’s mental health, she told The Bump in a May interview.

“I put my family’s needs above my own, which I found does not make me any kind of hero,” Heming explained at the time, noting that it doesn’t “serve” anyone to ignore her “baseline needs.”

She added, “Someone told me not long ago that when you over-care for someone, you end up under-caring for yourself. That stopped me in my tracks and really resonated with me.”
