00:00 I know it looks like I'm out living my best life.
00:03 I have to make a conscious effort every single day
00:07 to live the best life that I can.
00:11 I do that for myself.
00:13 I do that for our two children and Bruce,
00:17 who would not want me to live any other way.
00:21 -Emma Hemming Willis is getting honest about how she's doing
00:24 amid her husband Bruce Willis' ongoing battle with dementia.
00:29 On Monday, the model posted an emotional video
00:32 asking care partners to send her photos of themselves.
00:35 -I finished my hike,
00:37 and your pictures are making me so happy,
00:40 so why am I asking you to do that?
00:42 I'm asking care partners to send me photos
00:45 because I just think it's so important for us
00:47 to sort of break up our thinking,
00:51 which can feel, for me, very much like doom and gloom.
00:55 -The 45-year-old, who shares two young daughters
00:57 with the diehard actor,
00:59 went on to admit how she is coping nearly a year and a half
01:03 after Bruce's family shared the news that he had health issues
01:06 and was diagnosed with aphasia.
01:08 Earlier this year, they said his condition has progressed,
01:12 revealing he has frontotemporal dementia.
01:15 -I don't want it to be misconstrued that,
01:20 like, I'm good, 'cause I'm not.
01:22 I'm not good.
01:24 But I have to put my best foot forward
01:27 for the sake of myself and my family,
01:30 because, again, when we are not looking after ourselves,
01:34 we cannot look after anyone that we love.
01:39 So it's really important.
01:40 And like I said, this is a conscious effort.
01:43 It does not come to me easily.
01:46 But I am just doing the best that I can always.
01:50 -The model went on to share that,
01:52 while she doesn't have self-care or being a care partner,
01:55 quote, "down to a fine science," she is trying to stay positive.
02:01 -Your pictures are making me happy.
02:02 I just want you to take a moment out of your day.
02:08 And I know that your day is stressful,
02:10 and I know that your day is hard,
02:11 but I just want you just to break it up for a minute,
02:14 just for a second, and just look for something beautiful.
