My dad told her it was ok for her to go and she peacefully passed a few hours later, holding the hand of one of your angel nurses.
We’d like to nominate the ICU staff for their exceptional care, their outstanding bedside manner, and their unwavering empathy to my grandmother and our family. Your physicians and nurses took such incredible care of my grandmother and treated us with so much respect and kindness. They ensured we could see her face and even hold her hand during the last moments of her life despite the circumstances that COVID-19 brought.

During a routine exam, we learned that my grandma needed immediate care and potentially an amputation. We never imagined she would spend her last few months of life in the hospital and that this would be one of the last times we would see her in person. Initially, she was happy and joyful; describing the hospital as a “5-star hotel.” She couldn’t believe how well she was treated and how kind your nurses were. She worsened over the next few weeks. We tried to ease the news that she wouldn’t return home, but that was difficult over the phone. Your staff helped tremendously ensuring that each member of her care team thoughtfully explained this news to her, so it finally became her reality.

Over those weeks, your staff set my grandmother up every day to FaceTime and see our faces. Most importantly, we could see hers – This was so incredibly special. I sent photos and videos of my son, whom she loved and adored beyond words. This kept her spirits up and gave her the strength to push forward. She was finally released to a rehab facility but later returned to the hospital. That’s when we learned that she had signed a waiver stating she wanted only comfort care. That night will live as a most profound memory in my life; One that I’ll always be incredibly grateful for. I was given the greatest gift of seeing my beautiful Nana one last time. She was disoriented after those 8 weeks in the ICU, however, her face lit up when she saw us. We held hands, told stories, and laughed together. I’ll never forget that night. It was the most cherished gift I’ve been given.

When she approached her final hours, my father came to see her one last time. Her room was the most soothing, comforting room he’d ever seen. The nurses were like heavenly angels here on earth. She was very disoriented, but she recognized my father immediately. He was given as much uninterrupted time with his mom as he would like. He told her it was ok for her to go and she peacefully passed a few hours later, holding the hand of one of your angel nurses. We are forever grateful that my grandmother felt comfortable, was able to laugh, and enjoyed the company of the nurses and staff who cared for her over those 8 weeks. Each time we drive by Sutter we smile, remembering my grandmother and being so appreciative to your amazing staff who took care of her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
