Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma, took to social media Monday to inform fans that although she is doing her best each day, she is struggling to take care of the famous actor amid his ongoing health problems.
Emma candidly told fans that she is not ok, sharing what she called a “PSA message” about mental health. “I know it looks like I’m out living my best life,” she said, referring to her curated social media feed. “I do that for myself, I do that for our two children and Bruce, who would not want me to live any other way.”
“I don’t want it to be misconstrued that like, I’m good. Cause I’m not. I’m not good,” she added.
Wills suffers from frontotemporal dementia and his condition continues to decline.

Emma expressed her ongoing commitment to discover “something beautiful” in each day and urged her followers to do the same. (RELATED: Demi Moore Shares Video Of Bruce Willis’ Condition On His 68th Birthday)
