My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver

Description:

In My Two Elaines, author, former governor of Wisconsin, Martin Schreiber, watches his beloved wife, Elaine, gradually transform from the Elaine he fell in love with in high school, and who diligently supported his political career, to the Elaine who knows she is declining and can’t remember how to cook a meal, and finally to the Elaine who no longer recognizes Marty or their children. Excerpts from Elaine’s journal recount her thoughts, concerns, and frustrations as the disease progresses, and Marty recounts his struggles in caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. He offers sage advice throughout the book including: “What I Wish I Had Known.”“Marty shares a story of struggle that will resonate with caregivers. With a true public servant’s heart, he provides tips and encouragement sure to help male caregivers in particular.” — Maria Shriver, Award-Winning Journalist and Founder"I applaud My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver for focusing on Alzheimer’s caregivers' trials and triumphs. Caregivers are heroes for their selflessness and love all while meeting challenges we never imagine. Cheers to Marty Schreiber as he shares how we as caregivers do everything we can to make sure our loved ones' physical needs are met, legacies are preserved and integrity remain in tact. — Jim Nantz, Founder of the Nantz National Alzheimer Center, National Sports Broadcaster.


Editorial Reviews

Review

My Two Elaines will touch the heart of every caregiver who has given his or her own to a loved one. Marty's story of selflessness and struggle will offer strength for many caregivers across our country who act as everyday heroes. --US Senator Tammy Baldwin

What this book reminds us is that whatever our differences--our backgrounds, temperament, socioeconomic status, and, yes, even gender--the often difficult experience of caregiving can become a meaningful expression of our humanity and, as it is for Marty Schreiber, of his love for his two Elaines. --Piero G. Antuono, MD, Director, Dementia Research Center, Medical College of Wisconsin; Medical and Scientific Advisory Panel, Alzheimer's Disease International

Marty Schreiber has written a book that will prove to be invaluable to the Alzheimer's community. His personal experience (and wisdom gained) as a caregiver is shared in such an honest and impactful way that it should be mandatory reading for all individuals who step forward to serve in this capacity. In addition, this book will inspire all of us who are committed to the vision of the Alzheimer's Association: a world without Alzheimer's. --David Simbro, Senior Vice President, Northwestern Mutual; National Board Member, Alzheimer's Association

This is a beautifully written book. I recommend it highly for anyone caregiving a spouse, parent, etc. My father had Alzheimers and I can relate to what Martin wrote in this book and I used that knowledge I learned thru my experiences with my dad to help other people going thru it. Also worked with our awesome local Milwaukee Alzheimers organization . Thank you for writing this book.
