Although Emma is grateful for those moments with Bruce—who is also dad to his and ex-wife Demi Moore‘s daughters Rumer Willis, 36, Scout Willis, 33, and Tallulah Willis, 31—it can be challenging to see it fade away.
“It’s just hard to see that because as quickly as those moments appear, then they go,” she explained. “It’s hard. But I’m grateful that my husband is still very much here.”
And as Bruce’s caregiver, Emma—who is now an advocate for others in a similar position—copes by trying to simply look forward.
“It’s really hard for me today to go back in time to remember even the fun because I am so caught up in today,” she admitted, “or what today looks like and walking this journey with him today, that I can’t remember.”
“I just have a really hard time remembering who he was,” she shared in her emotional reflection. “Sometimes, it’s just easier for me to stay in the what is. It’s hard to look back.”
