Example: Completed Example: Words, Quiet, and Permission to Stop

Fictional example. Leon prepares to visit his sister, Ruth.

Expressed preferences about company, words, or touch; anything you don't know

Ruth asked for short visits and dislikes hand-holding. I don't know if she wants music today; I will leave it off unless she requests it.

Brief message or ordinary memory you want to offer

I loved our walks after work. I still laugh about you naming all the neighborhood dogs before learning their owners' names.

Words releasing your person from answering or reassuring you

You don't need to answer or make me feel better. I wanted to say this to you.

Plan for quiet, other visitors, and family conversations

I will silence my phone and ask visitors to discuss travel plans in the kitchen. No group video call unless Ruth wants one.

Your response to refusal, needing relief, or choosing not to speak

If Ruth declines, I will leave without asking why. If I need a break, I will ask the agreed supporter for relief. I may keep the memory private today.
