#14 Parents’ screams of grief
I worked for a pediatric level 1 trauma center as a trauma nurse. I can’t/won’t ever forget the screams of parents as they watched us trying to save their babes. One mom was screaming her child’s name demanding her not to leave her.
Somehow that mom still had the wherewithal to thank us and acknowledge that she knew we tried everything when the doctor announced the child’s d***h. I know the question is about patients’ last words… But the parents’ words were powerful and lasting.
