![]() JOAN’S BLOG – , NOVEMBER 14/15, 2007 – JUSTICE SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR – HER AD HUSBAND’S NEW LOVE – HOW WOULD WE REACT? As soon as I read this story, I knew it could not be ignored. It is a timely, appropriate topic for all of us who read and write on this website. Click here to read it in its entirety, but I will summarize. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor For the record, theirs was a long, loving marriage On this website, we have dipped our toes into the water of controversy in daring to discuss, in Blogs, and on the Message Boards, the possibility of the spouses of Alzheimer patients entering into new relationships when their husbands/wives no longer recognize My first reaction to the story was instant, from the gut, and without any analytical thought – If that happened to me, I would be hurt and heartbroken But then I stepped back, and thought again So the question is – if they are no longer the person we knew; and if they have no memory of us, should we be as accepting of a new relationship they may form as is Justice O’Connor? I still feel that I would be shattered What do you think? Would you be able to accept it? How do you think you would react? MESSAGE BOARD TOPIC: Justice O’Connor- When your AD spouse finds a new love. Feedback to joan@thealzheimerspouse.com ![]()
