Description: When her mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Marianne Talbot decided she couldn't put her into a care home. Instead, for five years, she looked after her mum in her own home. For nearly three of those years she chronicled the fears and frustrations, the love and the laughter, and the tears and the trauma of caring.
