Sensitized by the disease that took away her grandmother, the former Miss France agreed to become an ambassador for the Foundation for Medical Research. A role that she takes very seriously and that she came to defend this Friday, September 20 in the show It’s up to you on France 5 on the eve of World Alzheimer’s Day. Deeply moved, Laury Thilleman spoke about the death of her grandmother and recalled her tragic end of life.
Laury Thilleman recounts the tragic end of life of her grandmother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.
In order to raise awareness among viewers, Laury Thilleman gave an insight into daily life with a person suffering from Alzheimer’s. “She was a very independent woman, she always took her car until she was 85 years old and then at some point, there is a loss of lucidity and she always took her car and drove at 90 km/h for example in town. So she was stopped, inevitably, and she had to face the police”she recalled the end of her grandmother’s life before confessing: “There are plenty of affronts like that.” Juan Arbelaez’s ex-partner continued with another anecdote about Yvonne: “She was leaving the retirement home, she was so flirtatious, so stupid, she would arrive with her handbag and run away from the retirement home pretending to be someone who had come to visit the sick.” Situations that seem entertaining but are not really. “It may seem funny but it is dangerous for the sick person and for those around them, enormously. She forgot to eat, she forgot a lot of things“warned Laury Thilleman.
Deeply moved, Laury Thilleman talks about the disappearance of her grandmother Yvonne
While she wished “stay dignified” to discuss the disappearance of her grandmother, Laury Thilleman could not help but be moved by Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine. “He was the pillar, like any parent or grandparent, a pillar of the family and when that pillar goes, the whole world collapses.“she confided about Yvonne’s death. “Research, donations, this is what can allow us to move forward and we have a lot of hope because recently there has really been a decisive shift that has been taken at the therapeutic level but also at the diagnostic level”she finally recalled the importance of mobilizing for World Alzheimer’s Day which will take place this Saturday, September 21.
