#92 The Lady in the Pink Cardigan
My mother in law is a nurse in palliative care. One night shift there was a disturbance in one of the rooms. One of the little old ladies was sitting on the edge of her bed trying to dress herself, when asked what the matter was she replied “the lady in the pink cardigan is telling me I have to get up and go now.” As the night progressed, patients in other rooms started doing similar things.
They all described the same lady, and said she was telling them to ‘get up and go.’ Another patient said that she didn’t want to go with the lady because she wasn’t ready to go anywhere yet. Another patient said the lady was pulling and tugging at them to get up. After a couple hours into this shift, a lady a few rooms down from where it all started passed away. Amongst her belongings was a picture of her with a lady wearing a pink cardigan.
