The care and love she extended to my son was as if he were her own. She carefully made sure to keep every memory of him peaceful and filled with love.
What should have been an ordinary trip to go visit family in Virginia and share the great news of pregnancy, instead, my partner and I were faced with the heartbreak of a lifetime. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in the emergency room having contractions 4 months too soon. We were in a state we had never been in before with no family or friends near. I was immediately taken to L&D, and that's where I met an earth-side angel named Georgia. From the moment she meet me she was filled with compassion and care, she handled me like I was her kin. I was afraid and unsure of what was to come and unaware I was about to experience a tragedy that would change my life forever. Georgia was by my side from the moment I arrived until her shift was completed. And she even came back the next day and cared for me and my son until discharge. She never left me as I began to cry I will never forget the words she said to me " I won't leave you I promise". She was there every step of the way through the delivery of my introduction to the STAR program and everything in between. The care and love she extended to my son was as if he were her own. She carefully made sure to keep every memory of him peaceful and filled with love. She was there for the graceful introduction, and she was there for a sorrow-filled goodbye. My heart felt safe leaving my child in her arms. Although the reason for my visit was tragic, I couldn't imagine going through it with anyone else by my side. She was more than just my nurse. She became a part of our story. I will never forget Georgia and how she cared for me during such a fragile time.
