I can relate since my mom got a stroke on Feb 2022. It's minor but she lost speech entirely for a few days. No one understand what she trying to say, she can't write, and like any old person, she's afraid of hospital.

I say I understand her without words. I know her routine, her pattern, even what she thinks about at particular time. She's ok now, but over 70s... so yeah.

As a hospice chaplain who writes about death and dying via the Twilight Zone this is awesome!

The Twilight Zone in a hospice setting? That’s the real deal. Thanks for the kind words and for the work you do.
