My Two Elaines provides important information to caregivers of Alzheimers patients, particularly to partners and/or family members of such patients. In his heartbreaking story of caring for his beloved wife Elaine, Schreiber confesses his mistakes and "wishes I'd know that earlier" in the 18 years of his wife's Alzheimers.
He relates the struggle of experiencing his love, the first Elaine, becoming a different person as the disease progressed, and how he came to love his "second Elaine". It is clear that the rest of his life will be spent assisting and counseling caregivers.
This is a deeply moving personal account of the experience of accompanying a loved one through the difficult progression of this dread disease.
Highly recommended.
