Book excerpt: A kind of death...Alzheimer's not only steals the patient's life but also devastates the family-no one more so than the spouse, who is now married to someone no longer "here." Bleeding Hearts is the candid narrative of a husband torn between love for his wife and the need to move on with his own life. Told by "the other woman," whom he meets at a time when he most needs her, the story of Eric, his wife, family, and new love, Tami, breaks the silence on a sensitive subject-offering comfort and insight to those struggling with the conflicting emotions that arise when Alzheimer's strikes the one you love.
