Unfading Love: A Son’s Live Journal through Alzheimer’s: A Caregiver’s Guide to Navigating Dementia with Dignity and Love Kindle Edition

But three years ago, he was thrust into a "product" he never signed up to manage: his father’s cognitive decline.His father was not just a retired SBI banker; he was a man of immense dignity and a celebrated poet who once shared verses with legends like Majrooh Sultanpuri. When Alzheimer’s began to erase the man who was once the family's anchor, Vivek found himself in a crisis that no technical framework could solve.Unfading Love is a raw, "Live Journal" written from the trenches of the "Sandwich Generation".
