The legendary actor’s wife’s comments come on the heels of her opening up about Bruce’s grief. 

The model shared an Instagram video montage, which depicted various activities she has 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."

Emma and Bruce married in 2009. The couple has two daughters together.
