Our discussion highlighted the importance of education for caregivers and their families, emphasizing self-care, seeking support, living in the patient's world, and providing the best possible life for loved ones. Martin spoke candidly about the challenges of watching Elaine's 20-year battle with Alzheimer's and the difficulties of caregiving, encouraging both men and women to seek support.

He also provided a male perspective on caregiving and discussed the heart-wrenching decision to place a loved one in a care facility. Martin's inspirational words, "If there's one thing worse than Alzheimer's, it's ignorance of the disease," resonated deeply with Betsy.
