New Book on Alzheimer's Caregiving

Congratulations to our friend and colleague, Kanu (KC) Mehta on the publication of his new book.

"My Journey with Sumi"

KC writes . . .



In 2013, at the age of 59, my wife was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer’s disease. Sumi and I had been happily married for over 40 years but other than brief times of normal sickness I had little experience in caregiving. As a former engineering executive at Chrysler, my problem-solving analytical mind hoped for a misdiagnosis.

At first I wanted to change Sumi, but I learned that instead I needed to change myself to best meet Sumi’s needs.

These essays document the emotional turbulence I went through during the initial phases of Sumi’s disease and how I came to emotional acceptance and management through research and reflection.

I share this book to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, reduce the stigma associated with it, and help others in similar situations find solace.
