    Demi Moore gave a rare glimpse into her ex-husband Bruce Willis’ “difficult” battle with dementia during a recent appearance on the “Oprah Winfrey” podcast.

    As the former talk show host interviewed Willis’ current wife, Emma Heming, about her new memoir, “The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path,” on Tuesday’s episode, Winfrey played a clip from a pre-recorded interview she conducted with Moore.

    “It’s difficult. It’s hard to see somebody who was so vibrant and strong and so directed shift into this other parts of themself,” said the “Charlie’s Angels” star, who shares daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, with Willis.

    “But you know, my particular perspective is one, I really always say it’s so important just to meet them where they’re at. Don’t have an expectation of them needing to be who they were or who you want them to be, and when you do that, I find that there is an incredible sweetness and something that’s soft and tender and loving.”

    “And perhaps it is more playful and childlike in certain sense, because of how much more caretaking they need.”

    Moore went on to explain how the “most important” aspect for her is “showing up and being present.”

    “Because if you project where it’s going it only creates anxiety. If you replay where it was and what you’ve lost, it only creates anxiety and grief,” she continued.

    “When you stay present, there is so much, and there’s still so much of him there. And it may not always be verbal, but it is beautiful given the givens.”

    Moore’s comments come shortly after Heming revealed she recently made the “hard decision” to put the “Die Hard” actor in a separate home because he “would want that” for their daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.

    “He would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs,” Heming said on “Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey – A Diane Sawyer Special.”

    Still, Willis manages to eat breakfast and dinner with Heming and their daughters in his home, where he resides with a full-time care team.

    Heming, 47, gave another update on the Golden Globe winner’s health last week, revealing he’s “still very mobile” amid his condition, which impacts speech along with the way individuals write and understand spoken and written language, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    “Bruce is in really great health, overall, it’s just his brain that is failing him,” the model explained in an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer.

    Heming discusses her role in being her husband’s caregiver in her forthcoming memoir, which is set to be released on Sept. 9.
