Description

Love Betrayed is a book for the legions of traumatized boomer wives and husbands who find themselves on their own after dedicating decades to their spouses. It combines the power of the big five "D's": Devotion, Disease, Deception,Depression,Divorce -- and the ultimate triumph over all.

This first person account chronicles the passionate marriage I had with Dan; a handsome high-powered Silicon Valley executive. My idyllic life as a contented wife, gourmet cook, and avid gardener is shattered when Dan is diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. Though four doctors agree on the death sentence, Dan has no symptoms. But I'm swept into an emotional firestorm that will spin my life from hope to despair to destruction over the next seven years. My "good wife" instincts go into overdrive as I fight for my beloved husband's life, seeking out specialists, attending survivor meetings, grinding herbs -- all under a gag order from Dan to protect his reputation.

Meanwhile, my adrenalin-junkie husband ignores his doctor and climbs the highest mountains, sky-dives, and treks through jungles on ever more risky solo adventures. The charade of normalcy and the one-sided battle for Dans' health eventually plunge me into a black depression. Dan's crushing announcement: " Divorce!" and the discovery of his affair with another woman complete the disintegration of my life as I had known.

Only then am I free to break the silence and reach out; to be engulfed in a healing flood of love and kindness from neighbors, family and friends -- support that had been there all along. Bouyed with resilience, courage and sheer determination, I finally discard the costly trappings of the priviledged life -- as I am forced to survive on my own, and move on to rebuild my world anew with simplicity and dignity.

This book delivers a heartfelt lesson for those who have known the despair and depression of isolation: Reach out -- you have the right to be happy again!
