A diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease for a loved one changes your life in the space of one minute. There are details to think of for physical, emotional, educational, medical, and caretaking issues that have to be addressed.
Aside from all the practical issues, wouldn't it be great to take some time to document this life now? Enjoy the time, the laughs, and stories, and the things you never knew that will come out in this interview. Doing this in the midst of all the stresses of adjusting to the diagnosis can be very healthy and affirming.
There has to be some therapeutic value, too, to having the video played and reminding the person about certain things in their lives as time goes on.
Preserve those memories now - for generations to come.
