GLORIA follow one woman's journey through the personal and intricate details of Alzheimer's Disease and the disparities it creates in her personality, family and social life. It also reveals her husband's plight as caregiver, his emotional turmoil and subsequent depression. It presents the desperate need for emotional support for caregivers through depictions of his mental anguish and serious contemplations, as recorded in his own words during their journey. His diary continues throughout their 15 years of mutual, often silent suffering. It shows Gloria's cognitive and physical abilities along with her emotional state and challenges to communicate with her soulmate as her human shell declines toward the inevitable failures of functionality. Bob remains strong by her side and even when she no longer recognizes him as her husband, she knows he is the person she can trust and feel comfortable with. From spouse to caregiver - the painful devotion allows Gloria to live with dignity into her last days.
