She made me feel like he was acknowledged and treated us as if he were a healthy baby boy.
I was 32 weeks pregnant and came into the hospital for decreased movement. I found out in triage that my baby did not have a heartbeat. Sunshine was my assigned nurse, and she was the best. I was scared, emotionally a wreck, and wasn't sure what to expect. She took good care of my whole family. She explained to us what was going to happen and what to expect when having a stillborn. She had the best personality. She even managed to make us laugh when I didn't think I was able to. She got clothes and made a diaper for my little boy in case we would not be able to get any small enough. I delivered the next day, and she was not working but she still came up to the hospital and visited my husband and me. I asked her if she saw my baby boy and she replied joyfully, "He is beautiful!" She made me feel like he was acknowledged and treated us as if he were a healthy baby boy. I am so thankful that she was my nurse. The world needs more people and nurses like Sunshine. She truly is sunshine when you cannot see the light.
