I was with my daughter and her husband in the ER. They suffered a devastating loss. My daughter had a miscarriage. This was to be their first child. My daughter was asking me how and why this was happening while apologizing for losing the baby and blaming herself. Tifany came in soon after. She was extremely kind and compassionate. She told my daughter it wasn't her fault. Tifany had no idea of the conversation that had taken place prior to her walking in but she knew exactly what to say. She comforted and hugged my daughter while expressing her condolences. Tifany said this one miscarriage didn't mean she could not have more children. Tifany truly went above and beyond by showing her kind and caring nature to my daughter which helped her physical well-being as well as her emotional well-being. She helped ease my daughter's pain. Tifany deserves recognition because she was truly the angel that my daughter needed at that moment. It was busy that night in the ER but Tifany took the time my daughter needed. I want Tifany to know how much we appreciated her. She is truly a wonderful example to all nurses.
