Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin J Schreiber

What better way to celebrate our 100th episode than with an interview that truly reflects the definition and the title of our show: Love Conquers Alz. Former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber is an award-winning crusader for Alzheimer's caregivers and persons with dementia and author of the best selling novel, My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver. Since 2016, Marty has been campaigning unlike anything he experienced while in office. Rather than seeking votes, Marty now works to recognize and support Alzheimer's caregivers – an unpaid workforce that now exceeds 16 million people nationwide. Schreiber's goal for caregivers (whom he calls heroes) is that they learn, cope, survive and even thrive during their difficult journey. All things that Marty learned caring for his beloved wife, Elaine.Imagine your spouse falling in love with you over and over again. Romantic, right?  But what if they kept falling in love with you because every morning they woke up they'd forget who you were?  The love story of Marty and his wife Elaine that began in the 1950s when they were high school freshmen began to take the cruelest of twists when Elaine, diagnosed with Alzheimer's, gradually transformed from the woman who had gracefully entertained in the Executive Residence to one who sometimes no longer recognized Marty as her husband.  Yet, the two still found moments of joy which Marty lovingly talks about in his acclaimed My Two Elaines.We share insights from "My Two Elaines," a poignant memoir that highlights the emotional journey from partner to caregiver, offering practical advice on therapeutic fibbing and redirection. The episode underscores the importance of male caregivers seeking help and stepping away from outdated stereotypes, as we discuss the necessity of systemic reform in care facilities.Support the showJOIN THE R.O.A.R.

Marty Schreiber has dedicated his life to advocating for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. As the former governor of Wisconsin and author of the acclaimed memoir "My Two Elaine's", Marty draws from his own deeply personal experience as a caregiver for his wife of 61 years, Elaine. For eight years, Marty cared for Elaine in their home as her Alzheimer's progressed, but he now admits he was unprepared for the physical and emotional toll it would take. Marty candidly shares his struggles, from trying to keep Elaine in his world to nearly working himself to exhaustion. He also opens up about difficult decisions like placing Elaine in assisted living and the guilt he still feels over not supporting his children through the process. However, Marty channels his regrets into wisdom, urging caregivers to accept help, join their loved one's reality, and focus on living fully themselves to best support their person. Through humor, heartache, and hard-won insight, he offers invaluable insights aimed at aiding fellow caregivers to embrace support, understand the dual realities of their loved ones, and nurture their own well-being for more effective care.

He went on to become a successful insurance executive and publisher before starting his own government relations firm in 1988. He attended Valparaiso University in Indiana and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, and earned a doctorate of law from Marquette University in Milwaukee. Marty and his wife Elaine, who died in 2022, are the parents of four children, Kathryn Lyon, Martin Schreiber, Kristine Haas and Matt Schreiber.

From the 34th Annual Caregivers Conference - Marty Schreiber, former governor of Wisconsin, has seen his beloved wife, Elaine, gradually transform from the woman who had gracefully entertained in the executive residence to one who sometimes does not recognize him as her husband. Marty candidly counsels those taking on this caregiving role, and 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 who are thrust into an unexpected role. With patience, adaptability, and even a sense of humor, Marty shows how love continues for his “Second Elaine.”
