She encouraged me and my choices, which was reassuring in such a dark moment. She connected with me on a personal level.
My father was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four liver cancer and spent time at Braselton for care. We soon decided that he would move to hospice. I am only 22, and an only child, so this change has been absolutely horrifying. Tiffany took care of my father during the day. She made him laugh, made us feel calm, and was always on top of getting the care he needed. We expressed that we wanted to prioritize keeping him out of pain, and she guided us on the right questions to ask, the physical signs to look for, and answered all my questions about medications and plans. She vouched for me and touched me on a personal level by asking about me and my plans, which included moving into the healthcare field. She encouraged me and my choices, which was reassuring in such a dark moment. She connected with me on a personal level. She remembered far more than typical nurses do about his treatment, his name, and his family. She was so supportive, and she transformed this dark time into something more comforting. I am so thankful for her.
