Charlotte de Turckheim facing her mother's Alzheimer's: “It's really very difficult”
Charlotte de Turckheim may always be smiling, but her good humor hides a difficult situation to live with on a daily basis: her mother, Françoise Husson, aged 94, suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The actress constantly goes to her bedside to take care of her. “My mother's illness is really very difficult to manage on a daily basis, even though she is in an institution near us in Eygalières. [où elle possède une maison d’hôtes, ndlr]“she explained to France Sunday.
A difficult task, which she nevertheless tries to make lighter. “Opening the door to joy is a militant choice. Even the nursing home teams, I manage to make them laugh“, she assured. This eternal optimist, based in Eygalières, even finds positive in this painful situation, as she confided a few months ago to Gala : “You know, I feel lucky. Thanks to my little mother who fell in love with this place, I live here, and Zaman, my husband, is so happy in Provence. The landscapes of the Alpilles remind him of those of his childhood, the lands of Afghanistan“.

An occupation that requires a real daily investment: “During the All Saints' Day holidays, there were four-legged babies everywhere. There are seventeen of us at the table, so seventeen breakfasts, lunches and dinners.“. Enough to give her work to do on a daily basis! Let's hope that she manages to manage this already busy life with her future hellish pace in Dancing With The Stars…
