A Review of My Two Elaines By Martin J. Schreiber<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2013 Richard Creighton, Living with Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“‘My Two Elaines’ tells of man’s struggle to care for wife with Alzheimer’s<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Jim Higgins , Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“At one moment this book is a heart-wrenching account of the devastating toll of Alzheimer\u2019s and the next moment it is a heart-rending love story. The minute you are holding your breath at the brutality of the disease, Marty rescues you with a concrete\/doable message that can lead to lovely moments of joy. No health care professional, family member, or caregiver should be without it.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Dawn Adler, Director of Adult Day Center and ReCharge, Jewish Home and Care Center, Milwaukee, and co-author of Illuminate: An Integrated Curriculum for Early Memory Loss Programs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“What this book reminds us is that whatever our differences \u2013 our backgrounds, temperament, social economic status, and, yes, even gender \u2013 the often difficult experience of caregiving can become a meaningful expression of our humanity and, as it was for Gov. Schreiber, of his love for his two Elaines.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Piero G. Antuono, MD, Member, Medical and Scientific Advisory Panel, Alzheimer\u2019s Disease International<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“My Two Elaines<\/em> will touch the heart of every caregiver who has given their 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.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“If you or someone you know is a caregiver, this is a must-read. Your loved one really does become a different person; as I learned from my mom\u2019s dementia, learning how to deal with her was key to everyone\u2019s sanity. There are many helpful hints here.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Bonnie Blair, five-time Olympic gold medalist<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“This book will resonate with caregivers and provides insight into the array of emotions and real-life challenges faced when caring for someone with Alzheimer\u2019s. The devastating impact of this disease is not lost in Marty\u2019s humor or endearing personal stories, but he offers solace in his lessons learned and how to appreciate what is left vs. what has been lost.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Kathy Cavers, Administrator\/COO, The Lutheran Home, Milwaukee<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Marty Schreiber has written a critically important book for Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia family caregivers. A natural storyteller, Marty blends wit, humor and raw emotion into an immensely readable and compelling work. He does not hold back on the terrible toll Alzheimer\u2019s has taken on his and his family\u2019s life, but he also demonstrates for others that there is a path to eventual healing and survival. This book will not only help caregivers avoid some of the physical and emotional stresses they will inevitably face, it will also help them see their loved one with dementia in a new and better light as they navigate the Alzheimer\u2019s journey together.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Tom Hlavacek, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Association Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“My Two Elaines<\/em> is a powerful, honest look at the toll Alzheimer’s disease takes on both patient and caregiver. Marty Schreiber and Cathy Breitenbucher have performed a great service, laying out a clear and valuable guide for couples who must navigate their way through this terrible disease.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Mark Johnson, Pulitzer Prize winner and co-author of One in a Billion: The Story of Nic Volker and the Dawn of Genomic Medicine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“My Two Elaines<\/em> is the story of one man\u2019s experience with caring for his wife after her Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis, but it\u2019s one experienced by endless others. Personal and practical for anyone caring for a spouse or family member, Marty writes directly to other men finding themselves in the role of husband-turned-caregiver. I only wish my father had this book to help him during my own mother\u2019s illness.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Paula Kiely, City Librarian, Milwaukee Public Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“After working with seniors and in the health care field for over 30 years, I still continue to learn every day. This book has taught me many things, and I\u2019m indebted to Marty.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Adele Lund, Director, Community & Business Relations, Laureate Group senior housing communities, Milwaukee<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“This wonderful book gives a personal perspective of a couple’s journey with Alzheimer’s disease, as they reach out for help and support. The personal sharing, the compelling development of Marty, and his insight as a caregiver all provide for an important message.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Michael Malone, MD, Aurora Health Care Senior Services; Chair, Public Policy Committee, American Geriatrics Society<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Unfortunately, most of us will be affected by Alzheimer\u2019s in one manner or another over the course of our lives. Marty has truly captured the essence of loving and caring for somebody with this disease. His book is insightful, thoughtful, heartwarming and respectful. Marty\u2019s sense of humor and abundant patience surely are a blessing for Elaine.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Scott McFadden, President and CEO, The Lutheran Home & Harwood Place, Milwaukee<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“My Two Elaines<\/em> demonstrates beautifully that the journey is not just for the person with the diagnosis, but the spouse and family as well, and that it is a journey to not attempt alone and unsupported. The “man to man” discussions will no doubt help those who may be afraid to admit they don’t have it all under control. I highly recommend this book. It is a quick read that provides a lot of great advice that will decrease the learning curve immensely.”<\/p>\n
