She set the room up so I could snuggle with him before, which meant the world to me, but I know it also provided comfort to my husband.
Maura was my husband's night nurse after his sudden cardiac event. She provided excellent care during his 4-day stay, even escorting him down as I had to say goodbye to my beloved while they took his liver for donation. This process was by far the most difficult event for me and my family. She kept my love comfortable and stable so we could all say goodbye and helped me navigate end-of-life care. She was there even as he passed, and I had to say my final goodbye. She set the room up so I could snuggle with him before, which meant the world to me, but I know it also provided comfort to my husband. I cannot express enough my deep gratitude for the loss of my beloved husband, only age 48. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have the most difficult job, and I appreciate the excellent care.
