Amy was the nurse for a full-term young mom who came to L&D because she had not felt her baby move that day. Amy assisted with her delivery, a stillborn baby.

Since Amy had just attended bereavement training she provided exceptional care of this mom, who had a very sad life story, and her baby. This mom held her baby for almost 20 hours.

Amy did an additional wonderful thing for this mom. She had molds made of the baby's hand and foot. When she left work at 7:30 AM, after working a 12 hour shift, she went to have the molds made and brought the finished molds back to the Mom, so she could have them before she went home. At first Amy did not want to give the molds to the Mom because she was not dressed in her uniform, but the other nurses convinced her to go into the room and present the Mom with the molds. The Mom cried even more over the wonderful gift and lasting memory of her baby.
