Dementia and the Heart: Understanding New Relationships

Dementia and the Heart: Understanding New Relationships

In this week's episode, national dementia trainer and host Dawn Platt tackles one of the most painful challenges on the dementia journey: when your spouse with dementia falls in love with someone else. With sensitivity and compassion, Dawn addresses the heartbreak this situation creates while offering practical guidance for those facing it. Drawing from years of experience, she explains why this behavior happens, how to respond with dignity rather than confrontation, and why stepping into your loved one's reality can preserve both their comfort and your emotional well-being. Whether you're personally experiencing this difficult situation or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides the validation and strategies needed to navigate one of dementia's most complicated emotional territories.
