“A dementia diagnosis is devastating to both partners, as we witness often through CaringBridge. Myrna Marofsky's starkly honest—and beautifully loving—account of caring for her husband, Larry, through Alzheimer's will no doubt help others walking this challenging path.”—Tia Newcomer, CEO of the nonprofit social network CaringBridge.

“Myrna understood that she would have to choose change for herself to keep from being bent double by the effects of the changes in Larry. You will be moved by the love story she narrates in these pages. But you will be stirred to reflect on your own choices because of the audacity of her courage, though she hardly mentions the word.”—The therapist who worked with Myrna during Larry’s illness who has chosen to remain anonymous.

“Funny, loving, and honest, Marofsky provides a gentle reminder to all health professionals that understanding patients as individuals, especially in the midst of trauma from grief and loss, takes precedence over business as usual. This is a must read for all of us.”— Dr. Chris Bray, PhD, MA LP

“There is perhaps no path more challenging than the slow, agonizing road of caring for a spouse with dementia. Myrna Marofsky has walked that road and she has done it in a way that created a story worth telling. A love story. She is a wonderful example of the power of Unstoppable Love.”— Dan Diamond M.D. International Disaster Physician, Speaker, Author and Coach.

“A rare find amidst books about Alzheimer’s! Told from a wife’s perspective, Marofsky gave me a refreshing dose of hopefulness as my partner and I try to find our way to a good life for him, for us, and for me.”— Laura, living with her partner diagnosed with dementia.

A well-written story that demonstrates Myrna Marofsky’s intuitive understanding of how to work with her husband’s strengths. This is a much-needed, helpful book.”—Judy Cornish, founder of Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network® (DAWN), TEDX speaker, and author

 “Myrna’s wisdom and guidance is at my fingertips as I begin my new role of caregiver for my husband. I am giving a copy to everyone who says to me, “How can I help?”— Karen, caring for her husband diagnosed with dementia.

“To The Last Dance is a wonderful guide for spouses, children, and grandchildren to feel the good, the bad, and the ugly of a loved one’s dementia. And at the same time keep the long game in view – how will I feel the proudest of how I treated my loved one when they are gone? Her insights are a gift to each reader.”— Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman, Senior Rabbi, Temple Israel, Minneapolis

 “My sister and I tried to understand what mom was going through and to be there for her throughout dad’s illness, but it wasn’t until reading her book that we really got it. We all made assumptions about each other that impacted our relationships. Reading a book like “To the Last Dance” would have helped us to care for both of them and to relieve some of mom’s worries about us as she worked to infuse the final years of her marriage with beauty and love.”— Eve Raymond, Myrna’s youngest daughter

“Our mom’s perspective on the stories she presents in this book clearly illustrate the challenges of dementia - not the physical and medical issues but the ethical and emotional struggles a spouse faces every moment of every day. Rather than trying to brush these struggles off with “tips and tricks”, the book gives readers relatable situations for them to consider and reflect on while they find their own way, knowing they aren’t alone.”— Sarah Kesher, Myrna’s oldest daughter
