You have the gift of having seen this long-term care thing in many guises and appearances. You can see long view over their case, over their needs, and the outlines of where this will come out the other side. You recognize the fog they are in, and how it can keep them feeling lost and confined. So you have a gift you can give them to share: that this is fog in the valley, nothing more, that the fog will lift, and when and how it might burn off as the day goes on. This is the gift of reflection.
