Summary
Working as a nurse in the ICU, I cared for many patients who are burned into my mind and heart forever. One of those patients was a young mom, in her early 40s with children in their early teens, who had suffered from cancer that had metastasized to her brain. She was incredibly sick, and this cancer was extremely advanced. One night as I cared for her, she was feeling exceptionally sick. Just a couple hours into the shift, I was preparing her for bed. Her family stepped out and went home for the night. I could see that this night she was very upset - more so than other nights. She was low on energy, she was sad, she looked weaker than normal. Within moments of her family leaving for the night, she passed away quietly. Nursing is hard, find hope at NURSING.com ❤️ Happy Nursing! Jon Haws, RN
