a nurse

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I am not posting as a mother going through the loss of a baby. I am a fairly new maternal/child nurse, and I just had my first real experience with caring for a family who had lost their beautiful baby. He was born stillborn at 40 weeks. I had the opportunity to bath him, take his hand and footprints, and prepare the memory box for his family. These were moments that I won't ever forget. I just wanted to say how truly sorry I am for the losses you have endured. I do not know you, but I know that you are all strong women. My prayers shall always include you.

    Thank you for posting this, I'm sure that it was also difficult for you to witness the heartbreak that this family was going through.  I'm sure that they were very grateful to have someone with the compassion that you seem to have.  Thinking of the family and thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for your kind thoughts and words.  I'm sure it was a great comfort to that family to have such a compassionate nurse. 

    The nurses who were there when I had my D&C were wonderful.  Each one took the time to tell me she was sorry for my loss.

    I felt bad for the nurses who were assigned to me when I was in the hospital.  Those were the worst days of my life and to have to even walk into a room with such sadness, let alone take care of me and talk to us, takes a lot of courage. 

    We were so lucky to have such wonderful people as our nurses.  One in particular, LuAnn, was with us for over 12 hours the first day while I was in labor and came back the next morning after my babies were born and lost.  She was truly amazing.  She got us in touch with a really great chaplain in the hospital that she knew.  She told us about and arranged for the wonderful organization, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, to come take professional photographs of our babies that we cherish.  She cried with us and hugged us and was sincere when she hoped that she would see us back soon under better circumstances.  She even made a little necklace with our boys names on it for us to put with our memory boxes.  I am so grateful that we had such a kind soul with us when we needed one most.

    It sounds like you were compassionate with the family and baby you cared for too.  Thank you.
