Rachel treated us with kindness and empathy, as she helped us experience our last moments with our son.
Rachel was the nurse for my son on the day he passed away. That morning, she helped me see my son's pupils so I could know his eye color. She helped me use a tooth Ette and my breastmilk to give oral care to him. I am truly appreciative of having these memories with my son. That afternoon, my husband and I learned our son would not be coming home with us. Our nurse treated us with kindness and empathy, as she helped us experience our last moments with our son.
