The Dementia Stories
ROOM 7 Willow
*
*
Willow sat in the chair that was next to the T.V. He was emaciated. He looked like an old balloon that had been blown up and after a time had deflated. He just sat there quietly. "I don't know where I am," he said.
*
He said this again to a caregiver as she walked into the room.
*
"I know where you are," she said matter of factly. "I know who you are and where you are. You are safe. I am taking care of you. And I love you."
*
He looked tired, defeated and resigned.
*
"I don't know where I am."
