Aging has been drawing attention from governments and significant portions of society. This is a consequence of the increase of the elderly population and it has implications for the structures of the social, economic and cultural relations. This matter is challenging because it makes visible the different aspects of longevity. Consequently, the focus is on chronic degenerative diseases, as they are primarily related to many more years of life. In Brazil, women who take care of their husbands are not visible to the statistics. The reality is that there is an increase in cases of spouse care related to dementia. This work focus on that scenario. In the present study, elder subject requires caregivers caused by some degree of dependence on their daily activities. We will carry out a case study, with a previously chosen subject, trying to bring out the behaviors, perceptions and feelings of the caregiver spouse. We will study about these complex aspects of the relationship, particularly in the situation of a long-term marriage. That strong links are essential in the care of an elderly person, and may provide a basis for follow-up in cases where there is the presence of family caregivers. It is also noted the importance of psychological support to family caregivers and professional caregivers, considering the emotional aspects as necessary to a note that should take into account the possibility of human suffering in any scenario
