I do that for myself, I do that for our two children and (I do that for) Bruce, who would not want me to live any other way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t want it to be misconstrued that I\u2019m good, \u2019cause I\u2019m not. I\u2019m not good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emma added her thinking can often become \u201cdoom and gloom\u201d and said putting her \u201cbest foot forward\u201d is a daily task that \u201cdoes not come to (her) easily\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cWhen we are not looking after ourselves, we cannot look after anyone that we love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn March, Emma marked her 14th wedding anniversary to Bruce by posting photos and a video to mark happy moments since they got hitched.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlongside a photo of a bouquet of flowers she received from a friend, Emma wrote on her Instagram: \u201cToday marks 14 years of marriage to the greatest love of my life. I woke with my heart full but what my mind kept going back to was another person\u2019s act of kindness yesterday I wanted to share as it inspired the heck out of me.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIn passing at a school event for our children, I mentioned to my friend that our anniversary was tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCut to, I get a text from my friend later that day that said she left \u2018a little something\u2019 for me at my door. It was this sweet bouquet of flowers (pictured) with a note that said Happy Anniversary amongst other things.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt got me thinking about how hard these types of \u2018special occasions\u2019 can be on caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen usually our person would acknowledge the event, now their changing brains just can\u2019t. And that is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo my point is this. If you know someone that is looking after someone else, don\u2019t ask what you can do, just do. This random act of kindness will honestly stay with me for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHours later, Emma shared a video shot by Bruce\u2019s ex-wife Demi Moore of her and the actor renewing their vows on their 10th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>\nBruce marked turning 68 on March 19 while surrounded by his children Rumer, 34, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29, who he has with his 60-year-old actress ex Demi. <\/p>\n<p>\nBruce retired from acting last year due to the brain disorder aphasia affecting his ability to understand language, and in another update on his health last month, his family said he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which affects behaviour, problem-solving, planning and emotions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/emma-heming-willis-opens-reality-caring-dementia-stricken-husband-bruce-good-1383682.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15 August 2023 Emma Heming is \u201cnot good\u201d as she continues to support her dementia-stricken husband Bruce Willis.
