Jai,
I have had this experinece, particulary when working with people in later stages of Alzheimers. Although they were not able to communicate verbally in any kind of coherent manner, I really *felt* I connected with them and understood. And then when my verbal response was to try to state or validate what they were feeling, they seemed to be comforted and calmer. Perhaps this comes out of my own need to feel like people in late stages of dementia are still *in there* somewhere, but it really felt like a connection to me.

And this moment always feels like a gift from God.

I hope your abilities feel that way to you, too.

((((Jai))))
