Sandra Day O’Connor died several weeks ago of complications from dementia.
Rosalynn Carter was 96 when she passed and had suffered from dementia as well.
These days dementia is often the diagnosis.
Sandra Day O’Connor had made “dementia” news before. When her husband was in memory care, he began an affair with a woman at the residence. Judge O’Connor approved it.
It’s a touching response to a difficult situation.
There was a similarly-themed film with Julie Christie. In it, Christie falls in love with a fellow resident as her husband and the man’s spouse watch during visits to the home.
I believe the movie is called Away From Her. I saw many years ago and found it very moving when I did.
