Edgewood Healthcare Presents Speaker: Marty Schreiber

Edgewood Healthcare Presents speaker: Marty Schreiber, former governor of Wisconsin & author of "My Two Elaines". First 50 attendees will receive a free "My Two Elaines" book! *Limited to one per household. RSVP encouraged but not required). Join us for the presentation, light food and beverages.
Former governor of Wisconsin Marty Schreiber has seen his beloved wife, Elaine, gradually transform from the woman who had gracefully entertained in the Executive Residence to one who sometimes no longer recognizes him as her husband. In My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver, Marty candidly counsels those taking on this caregiving role. More than an account of Marty's struggles in caring for his wife, My Two Elaines also offers sage advice that respects the one with Alzheimer's while maintaining the caregiver's health.  As two-thirds of those with Alzheimer's are women, he offers special guidance for men thrust into an unexpected job. With patience, adaptability, and even a sense of humor, Marty shows how love continues for his Second Elaine.
