On Tuesday, the model shared an Instagram video montage, which depicted various activities she’s 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.”
