We had our first experience in Labor and Delivery at Maine Medical Center months before we thought we would back in February of 2018. During the most difficult moment in our lives our nurse, Jessica, met us with such grace and respect from the moment she walked through the door. We are forever grateful for her.
It was immediately evident that Jess not only understood and respected the severity of the situation; she was genuinely empathetic and would be there for us. While we knew that Jess likely had several patients to care for, she made us feel like we were her only ones. It was clear that it was not just a job for Jess; it was way more than that. Jess clearly had the innate ability to say the right things, or just listen, something that does not come easily in times of grief beside people one has never met before. In a time of pure shock, filled with fear and overwhelming sorrow, we found comfort through the support and love Jess gave to us. She held our hands and put a hand on our shoulder in the darkest of times, she truly listened to our concerns while making sure we understood what to expect every step of the way through the scary path ahead.
Her superior level of experience and knowledge in the field of nursing was obvious and further comforted us. She was our light, our caretaker full of genuine dignity, kindness, respect, and compassion. There truly is no way for us to possibly express the impact she had on our lives and how grateful we are that she was there for us as we said hello and then goodbye to our precious baby boy.
We understand that the nursing field can be a challenging one, and sometimes thankless, and that is why it is so important to take a moment and say thank-you to those who truly deserve it. Maine Medical Center should be very proud and honored to have such a high caliber nurse and know that her level of patient care far exceeds expectations. Any patient who finds himself or herself in the care of Jessica is no doubt in the best hands possible.
Thank you, Maine Medical Center, and most importantly, thank you, Jessica.
