What is it like to be the well spouse of a man with multiple sclerosis, to care for someone who will not get better and whose chronic illness will progress into dementia? ... Much of this work feels like it was written in the hard blue light of 3 AM, letting us read the emotional weather of the journey, the way that only poetry can do.
Barbara Crooker, author of Radiance, winner of the Word Press First Book Award, and Line Dance Marion Cohen has never shied from honest talk.... For the long-term caregiving experience profoundly felt and rigorously observed, read Cohen.
Maggie Strong, author of Mainstay: For the Well Spouse of the Chronically Ill and founder of the Well Spouse Association Marion Cohen is a loving and literary advocate for a group that barely knows itself. She generously elucidates the lives of those who find themselves only on the giving end of a relationship, and provides a mirror to recognize losses and a door to step out of the shadow of the other's need and regain life.
Dina Gerasia, well spouse Marion Cohen's compact words and spare description resonate well with the well spouse's efforts in the face of many challenges.
Richard Anderson, president, The Well Spouse Association Each new publication of Marion Deutsche Cohen must be a cause of celebration! She is not only a writer and a mathematician but also a sage and magician.
Lili Bita, author of Sister of Darkness Praise For Dirty Details: The Days And Nights Of A Well Spouse . . . a powerful meditation on the role of the well spouse in contemporary society... I recommend it highly.
Christian Perring, Ph.D., in MentalHelp.net . . . one of the more poignant accounts of the caregiving experience...
Laura Katz Olson, author of The Not-so-Golden Years
