“If you are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease, we’ll see it through together,” said Édith Fournier to her husband, fully aware of the impact this declaration would make in her life and to their relationship. Her voyage of love and courage, and her determination to fight the isolation and despair frequently experienced by Alzheimer’s patients and their families, is the topic of this year’s Douglas’ final Frames of Mind series documentary, Édith et Michel. Fournier will attend the screening and discuss her role as caregiver and spouse. Céline Brunelle, a clinical nurse at the Douglas’ Moe Levin Unit and Memory Clinic and Serge Gauthier, MD, director of the Alzheimer Disease Research Unit at the McGill Centre for Studies in Aging, will co-host the evening.
