To the Nurses Who Care for Stillborn Babies and Their Mamas, 'Thank You' Isn't Enough
, each and every day. You see countless couples become mothers and fathers, watch adorable babies take their first breath, and best of all, you get to be an important part of it, helping to usher new life into the world minute by minute, hour by hour. But it's also back-breaking work, filled with long shifts and emotionally taxing moments that stay with you, long after the patients leave. Caitlin Nixon knows this all too well.
"She is so good at what she does that she often forgets how to take care of herself while she's taking care of her patients," McIntyre continued."This pic is from a night back in July where she came to my house after a particularly hard day," McIntyre continued, before explaining that Nixon had just delivered a stillborn baby."Have you guys ever really thought about what a labor and delivery nurse sees?" McIntyre asks.
McIntyre's loving tribute to her sister, as well as all the hard-working labor and delivery nurses out there, was certainly not lost on anyone. "On October 13th many years ago, my sister's first child was born with many health complications and passed shortly after he was born," one woman shared."I will never ever forget the warmth and kindness of all the nurses who shared our grief. Thank you so very much for all you do to make your patients and their families heal with grace and love!"
"We talk all day every day, so I do have insight on what she goes through at work," she explains."She is constantly checking in on her patients, making sure they're okay, entertaining their family members, etc. I honestly never knew how draining being a nurse really is -- physically, mentally, and especially emotionally."
