Approximately 1.4 million people in France are living with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. When including both patients and their caregivers, the total number of people affected exceeds 3.5 million. Marie and Gérard, a married couple who now live separately, continue to nurture their relationship despite the challenges brought on by Gérard's Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2021. Marie has been supporting her husband day by day, adapting to the evolving needs of his condition. Alzheimer’s disease requires those around the patient to constantly adjust, as the condition’s progression is unpredictable and ongoing. Marie has structured her support system by reducing her working hours, using home caregivers, and enrolling Gérard in a day center. These practical measures are not meant to be a break for her, but rather a way to sustain her ability to care for Gérard while maintaining her own energy. She emphasizes that this is not a time for rest, but for continued involvement and presence in her husband’s life. As Gérard’s condition has worsened, verbal communication has become limited. However, this does not mean the connection between Marie and Gérard has faded. Instead, they have learned to communicate through non-verbal cues—such as a look, a gesture, or a facial expression. Marie has become an observer, learning to interpret and respond to Gérard’s subtle expressions, maintaining a meaningful connection despite the limitations of speech. Gérard has always wanted to remain useful, even as his condition progressed. He was featured in a documentary titled "Ce qui demeure" (What Remains), which documented their daily life and allowed him to participate in a shared project. Despite this, the disease continued to progress, eventually reaching a point where home care became unsustainable. Gérard now resides in a care center, but Marie remains committed to supporting him. She believes that living apart does not mean the relationship ends: "We will live in two different places, but that does not prevent us from continuing. The important thing is to continue living, supporting, and maintaining a connection with this person we love."
