Thrilled to share that my new book
Life Goes On:
A Memoir About Becoming a Special Needs Family,
has launched and is available from Amazon!
Life Goes On: A Memoir About Becoming a Special Needs Family is the true account of how one family found courage and strength after medical disaster struck. Greenberg tells more than the story of her daughter’s journey with a life-threatening brain condition and how their family faced the challenges together. Although her story is intimate and familial, Greenberg’s wisdom gained and shared provides a universal and inspirational blueprint for anyone who has loved ones with special needs or whose family has faced life-changing medical challenges. Life Goes On is a gift of hope for all.
If you have a loved one in your life who needs special care,
i wrote this book for you:
In Who Will Butter My Toast? Sandy Tovray Greenberg shares invaluable advice and practical tools for you to create a guidebook to keep your loved one thriving in a safe environment. She is the mother of Rayna who has special needs, and Greenberg has over 20 years of experience in coordinating her daughter’s at-home care. Her top priority is to ensure Rayna is safe and happy, and that she lives a dignified and as independent life as possible, in her own home. She will guide you in what to include and what to be aware of as you embark on putting together the best suited handbook for the unique situation of your loved one, be it a child, parent, spouse, or friend. A book written with deep empathy, you will discover a veteran companion who leaves no stone unturned to help you best formulate clearly and in writing, how to ensure the needs of your loved one are met in a professional and compassionate way. Greenberg also includes helpful samples of handbooks for family, manager, and caregivers, giving insight into how the documents can look when complete.

My Story
I am the mother of Tovah and Rayna, my two amazing, adult daughters and devoted sisters. When Rayna was three, she suffered a bleed in her brain, and this changed our family’s path in life.
Because Rayna’s right side is semi-paralyzed, she requires help with many tasks. One day when she was around 10, she asked, “Mommy, who will file my nails when I am older?”
Although our family put all the appropriate securities in place for Rayna’s future, we wanted to make sure caregivers would attend to her needs the way her family does. This includes things like knowing her favorite brand of cottage cheese, or how she likes her laundry separated, or how to butter her toast.
I have written books that tell the stories of individuals and families who prevail and thrive despite unforeseen life challenges; stories that have empowered others. Now it was time for me to write our story in a way that will be helpful to other families and caregivers.
