MUST-WATCH! One of the most
MUST-WATCH! One of the most beautiful and memorable moments you will ever see on video, as Naomi, a Jewish lady, finds the way to reach into the soul of Gladys, 87, long isolated in her own world of Alzeimer's, by singing her beloved Christian hymns to her.
Life-affirming is a phrase often used, but this example of one person finding the way to bring alive a once-vibrant woman, now lost in her own world of Alzheimer's - a white Jewish Lady and a black Christian Lady - will stay with you, for a long time.
Naomi Feil is founder of Validation Therapy, and called "THE world's authority on communicating with people with dementia," according to Michael Verde, who produced this film, and is founder of Memory Bridge, The Foundation for Alzheimer's and Cultural Memory.
You see Naomi's inner light and spirit as she communicates with Gladys, crossing cognitive and emotional boundaries - just as you can see Gladys' inner light and hidden memories of her love of Gospel hymns and Christian music.
So beautiful and celebratory of the human spirit - and love.
