A nurse in ICU came into my fathers room and hugged me because I was the only one who ever visited.

That was lovely Lynn XXX

I had to go to my favourites aunts funeral alone after my divorce and was so upset at her passing, I was walking out after the coffin and a relative of a relative reached over to hug me and support me.. She was a very special person, its always stayed with me, because I needed the support.. When this lady got sick, and was in the hospital, I was woken in the early hours very upset and not knowing why.. I had been dreaming about her, so I prayed for her, and it turned out that she had died just at the time I had woken, she was alone when she passed, but I like to think she heard my prayes. XXX

Those are truly beautiful Lynn.... and Clay. Very touching ...

I agree with Rachel.....so touching & beautiful Clay & Lynn.

What comes to mind was when my husband had died, I wasn't aware he was gone. A nurse (who was a dear friend) took my daughter & I to a small room in the hospital and stayed with us until the dr. arrived to give me the news. She held us, she comforted us, she gave me a shot to sedate me. Friends spent a few nights with me until family could travel to me. A couple of months later I had to have a hospital procedure done. My same wonderful nurse friend went to the doctor & insisted they keep me overnight, in a private room (on her watch) dope me up good so I could get some sleep. My nurse friend, Pat Knapp, adored my husband & I, despite her grief, her thoughts were of me first.........I was very grateful to her for everything she did for us. Actually so many of our friends & family stepped forward to help during our very grieving time.
