Although my grandpa was not conscious, he spoke to him and walked him through everything he was doing.
My grandfather went into cardiac arrest and was admitted to the hospital. During his stay, he had amazing nurses ensuring his comfort and health. This nurse, in particular, was one of his nurses. As family members stopped by, this nurse was a comforting sense of peace. He treated my grandpa with so much respect and care. Although my grandpa was not conscious, he spoke to him and walked him through everything he was doing. He explained to my family the state of my grandpa and was open to answering any questions. This nurse should be commended for his amazing care for both patients and families. My grandfather’s passing was such a difficult experience, but he made today a little less hard through his peaceful and caring presence, and we as a family are so grateful. Thank you.
