Sonia moved from England to Canada in 1969. After schooling, she spent the majority of her career working as a Project Control Coordinator, scheduling and monitoring the engineering jobs across the site at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories.

When her husband was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s, Sonia dedicated her time trying to find a way to keep him alive and give him the best quality of life possible. Steve passed away in 2017.

Based on the struggles and challenges they faced during his illness, Sonia decided to write her first book “Dealing with Early Onset Alzheimer’s; Love, Laughter & Tears”.

So excited now that it has come to be a reality and hoping that anyone reading it has a take away that helps them in their journey.(less)
