From the moment I arrived at this hospital, Marsha did absolutely everything to welcome and take care of me. When I lost my baby, she was the one person to go out of her way to be sensitive and understanding of my way of coping and the space I needed personally. Especially after having to stay an extra night I genuinely did not want to wait on a psychiatric evaluation. She made sure not to be pushy or over-bearing and made sure to stay on top of calling the doctor who was supposed to come and evaluate me. She even found a way to get my discharge papers anyway after it took all day with no results. She even stayed longer than she had to while letting me sleep as long as I wanted and handled things for me to take some weight off my shoulders and get me discharged since all I wanted to do was go home.
Words cannot explain how much I appreciate Marsha and everything she did for me. It made it easier for me to just feel like a normal persona and gave me time to breathe and cope in my way with no push or judgment. I will never forget her and her help, especially her being by my side as I created and organized the box I received and pictures. Thank you for everything.
