Four Umbrellas: A Couple's Journey Into Young-Onset Alzheimer's
Four Umbrellas: A Couple's Journey Into Young-Onset Alzheimer's
A writing couple searches for answers when Alzheimer's causes one of them to lose the place where stories come from -- memory.
At the age of fifty-three, Tony walks away from a life of journalism and into an unknown future. June is forty-eight, a writer and teacher, and over the following decade watches as her husband changes -- in interests, goals, and behaviour -- until Tony has a fall, ending the life they had known.
A diagnosis is seven years away, yet the signs of Alzheimer's are all around. A suitcase Tony packs for a trip is jammed with four umbrellas, a visual symbol of cognitive looping. But how far back do these signs go? The couple starts probing the past and finding answers. This is not an old person's disease.
