4		-|**Personality **Proud. Private. Concientious. Devoutly caring to the people around her. Puts other people ahead of her own goals. Sceptic towards technology. With the illness, a heightened sense of anger. Stubborn.|**Wants/Needs **Wants to keep her dignity. Wants to hold on to her sense of control.

5		-|**Brief description **Marie has long been a prominent figure in her small community. Her interests has always been in other people, and was famous for her many friends and connections. She is the mother of many children and grandmother to two young grandchildren. This is what makes it so difficult, as she diagnosed for early stages of dementia about a year ago, and has a hard time accepting the inverse of her previous life. She faces short-term memory loss, deterioration of balance and disfamiliarity with her surroundings. Little by little, she is now needed to be cared for, but she has too much self-respect to allow them to. She feels as if there's a heightened sense of pressure because she has to appear well in front of others. Attending and respecting her new needs feels to her as belittlement and an embarrasment, and as though it strips her of her dignity and integrity. But because she is loved by so many people, she needs to face this new reality at every second. |**Motivations **Love for family and friends. Her self-importance.
