Tonight, I saw a doctor shedding tears for her patient.
Tonight, I shed tears for my patient.
It is so hard to care for patients on both ends of the spectrum...
One is looking forward to an exciting beginning
The other mourning the ending.
Words can't quite express the emotions I am feeling, but they do make me hug a bit tighter, nurse a bit longer, and love a bit deeper. And they are nothing compared to the anguish many mothers go through everyday with empty arms and a memory full of moments.
If you have a child in your life, always remember what a blessing you have. And if you know someone who has lost their's, acknowledge their blessing, too. They NEED us to remember their baby, too.
