The Caregiver’s Voice features a video by Roberto Carlo Chiesa of Modesto-based Alexandria Perrin Company for VOICES with Dementia.
Inspired by his sister, Roberto’s short-narrative film features Arlene, who lives with Alzheimer’s disease. (She was his late sister’s roommate who also lived with Alzheimer’s.)
Actress Jenni Abbott plays Arlene’s daughter and each share words from their hearts (as written by Chiesa).
Roberto Carlo Chiesa sent a review copy DVD to The Caregiver’s Voice years before we began the VOICES with Dementia column.
Now, that we’re into our third year and featuring video interviews of people with dementia, it’s time to share this powerful message.
Don’t stop loving me…
Inside it’s still me…
Remember me as I was…
My dear daughter,
Always remember
As I walk into the night
That inside me…
inside my being where my heart and soul is still me
That to touch my hand
to caress my face
To look into my eyes
and see me
you will never lose me
or I, you.
