In a rare update, months after Bruce Willis announced his retirement due to health issues and a battle with aphasia, Willis’s longtime friend actor Sylvester Stallone is letting the world know how Willis is doing.
While talking with The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone had this to say about Bruce Willis. “Bruce is going through some really, really difficult times. So he’s been sort of incommunicado. That kills me. It’s so sad.”
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, on August 30, model Emma Heming Willis, who is also married to legendary actor Bruce Willis opened up about grief. The message comes just months after it was revealed Bruce would be retiring from acting.
As Mamas Uncut previously reported Willis shared that he was recently diagnosed with aphasia. In the initial statement, Willis and his family said, “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.”
Emma Heming Willis Shares Message About Grief Months After Bruce Willis Opened About His Health Issues
Since his announcement, Emma has been sharing bits and pieces of their summer together. Much of which included adorable bits of family time.
However, in Emma’s latest Instagram post, she got real with her followers. Alongside a video montage of the last summer, Emma opened up about how grief has affected her.
“This was the summer of self-discovery — finding new hobbies, going out of my comfort zone, and staying active,” Emma admitted as the video showed her working out, playing tennis, biking, gardening, doing housework, and painting.
“My grief can be paralyzing but I’m learning how to live alongside 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.”
Scout, who Bruce shares with his ex-wife Demi Moore, also commented on the video, writing, “This is so beautiful! I’m so proud of you, I love you so much!!!”
And other people also shared their words of wisdom about grief. “Grief will make you move mountains when you can barely jump hurdles,” another person wrote.
“It is the balance of what is, and what’s to come.. You push through it. You have to. Your beautiful babies are learning from your strength. And what beautiful strength you have, dear. You keep pushing and we’ll keep praying.”
Emma also recently shared a video of Bruce and their friend making music together. Despite his health issues, Bruce can still play the heck out of a harmonica.
Emma shared her message on National Grief Day.
