Sigrid describes traveling from her home in Italy to Tacoma, Washington in the United States to care for her sister with Alzheimer's disease. She stayed there for a whole month.

Sigrid talks about the reality of conversing with someone who has Alzheimer's. They often have trouble finding the word for the thing they are thinking of.

Sylvia is willing to talk about her Alzheimer's diagnosis, even though she struggles to form sentences and find the right words.

Sylvia talks about how her diagnosis was reached and about what limitations there are for her now, such as going out for walks by herself and singing in the choir at church.

A year has gone by and Sigrid is back in Tacoma to spend time with her sister, Sylvia. Things have changed quite a bit, and Sigrid shows us Sylvia's new setup.

Sigrid concludes this "personal journey into the unknown" with optimism about harnessing creativity in order to live a more fulfilling life with Alzheimer's even though it might not slow it down. We have to live in the present!
