Uh oh...I see a new excuse for why men had an affair.
All kidding aside, this story is strangely sweet.
To: COUNTrecount
Well if the guy is out of his mind and somehow finds some way to be alive a little with the stranger, then I see why his wife is OK with it.
What can she possibly do, her husband, the one she married is really dead as a whole and little bits of him die mentally daily I guess.
She has my sympathy.

Yes it is.

I agree, though I doubt she’s “thrilled” as her son claimed. Probably more like simultaneously hurt, grieving, and understanding.

I think you are right.
Like I said, she has my sympathy.

Why is this a news story? This is a personnel family matter and the reporter who broke this has got to be scum

Shame on CBS for reporting a story such as this. Matters of Alzeimers should remain private family matters, unless the family releases it. And, I’m no fan of x Judge O’connor.

Couldn’t CBS allocate their resources a bit better? Yes, it is a bitter sweet story, but it is also a private one. Justice O’Connor has retired. She is no longer a public figure and she should be entitled to her privacy.
Oh, I forgot. The only people entitled to privacy these days are those who dredge the bottom of the barrel to bring us the news.

Although I share your sentiments, I am disturbed at the fact that somebody felt it important to run to the retirement center and film and report this story in a way that wreaks of tabloid journalism. In my mind, it appears to paint a picture of Sandy Baby as a cold and uncaring spouse that has written off the remaining days of her husband’s life. I’m sure that’s far from accurate.
JMHO

A gal I know has Alzheimer’s and her husband died. When her kid’s told her she was devastated and cried and cried. The next day the kids were with her and she asked where her husband was, and they said - don’t you remember - dad died. She cried and cried. The nurse had a talk with the kids, and now whenever she asks where her husband is they say he went to the store, etc.
I’m glad he found a friend. I wonder if its anything like that goofy Adam Sandler movie with the girl that starts the same day over and over again?

Alzheimer’s killed my Uncle. The problem is, he didn’t have it, my Aunt did. The things that they do are not conscious decisions. When she caused a car accident she told the EMT’s that she didn’t know my Uncle. He was removed from the ambulance and removed from the hospital later by the police. He died of a heart attack in a rented car 24 hours later. I wouldn’t be surprised if the woman’s family had her removed or if the hospital suggested one of them transfer.

Pray none of us or our family have to deal with that.
As our population gets more older people, there will be a lot more of this.
God bless those going through this kind of torture.
Nobody wants our loved ones to lose their minds and to forget their whole past lives.
Very sad, a family tragedy for whoever goes through this.

I agree with you in that none of this should have made news.
Because of O’Connor being high profile and tabloids being in business to make money, they have zero problem reporting the ongoing tragedy of her family.
Tragedy sells, just look at Britney, Lohan and Mike Tyson.

Was this “news” written before or after the news writers at seeBS went on strike?
I know, I know, same chit, different day.
