The~Alzheimer's~Conversation

The Alzheimer's Conversation takes place between a person with Early-Stage Alzheimer's and his/her family while the person is still lucid and able to participate in the Conversation.  The intention of The Alzheimer's Conversation is that as terribly terribly difficult it is to hold The Alzheimer's Conversation, it is much more difficult for all involved to have Alzheimer's progress and have its awful impact without having had The Alzheimer's Conversation.
