Three visits in a row my elderly client was fussing about her clothes.
"I have to get Sage to take me shopping. I need some new clothes."
Her clothes were beautiful and plentiful.
The closet was stuffed with them.
Next time she said:
"I need new clothes."
"What for?" I asked.
"For, you know.... I need some new things for where I am going."
"Where are you going?"
"Well... I, you know... the next place."
She was wait-listed for a new facility so I assumed she meant it as her new address.
The last visit she was fussing again about the clothes.
When I left I said cheerily:
"See you next week."
"Maybe," she answered.
Died peacefully in her living room a few days later.
I hope those heavenly clothes meet her needs.
