Engelse documentaire over Christine Lyall-Grant (65) bij wie op jonge leeftijd Alzheimer werd gediagnosticeerd: Zie ook: https:bioethicsbytes.wordpress.com20080808my-life-on-a-post-it-note The BBC documentary series One Life gave a personal insight into the effect of the disease on both the sufferer and the family around them, as they endeavour to cope with this deliberating illness. Christine (mostly referred to as Chris in the documentary) is resolute in her determination to remain independent. This, however, becomes increasingly difficult as the disease becomes progressively worse. (…)The documentary follows Christine over a six month period as she tirelessly trying to keep on top of day to day activities. She does this by keeping extensive diaries, posting messages on her notice boards and writing endless post-it notes to herself. Her daughter Fiona is instrumental in Christine care, taking her to visit her doctor at the hospital for her memory tests and being a constant watchful eye over here basic needs. As the disease gets worse it becomes increasingly difficult for both of them. Fiona describes it as a really slow grieving process. The more the Alzheimer progresses the more she feels she is slowly losing a little bit of her mother to the disease. It also becomes more difficult for Christine, as she becomes increasingly frustrated with being told she has forgotten something or has done something wrong.
