This will be illustrated through a real situation encountered by individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease (or a related syndrome) from their relative (i.e. spouse, parent, or other).
Furthermore, according to the time left, other topics could be addressed as the risk (and fear) of falling, the end of life, etc .
