I had just received the most horrible news. My life was now going to change forever. I was beside myself, feeling very emotional and not knowing what to expect. Along came Trish…. at the moment I needed someone the most, she was there to comfort me. She understood me and felt my grief. She took control and got me a room of my own so that I could focus, relax and try to make sense of what was going on.
Trish brought with her exactly what I needed at that time - her true compassion. Her kind words and thoughts truly helped me get through this very trying experience. Her sensitivity and knowing just what to do made me feel safe. She gave me the empowerment I needed to get better. Every day she told me "BE POSITIVE" and kept telling me, "The world needs more people like you in it" - "BE POSITIVE".
Trish's spiritual side led me to greater hope. She never pushed a religion, an ideology or her personal values; simply a better understanding and encouragement. After 14 radiation sessions on my spine I am continually inspired by the lovely willow tree angel and her sea shell which was given to me by Trish.
Trish is a true inspiration and someone who holds the title "nurse" with great respect.
