It was the end of a Friday afternoon. As I was preparing to go downstairs, I noticed a patient's family member in the corner crying. I tried to console her but the tears flowed steadily. I left her to get a box of Kleenex. When I returned, I witnessed April on the floor, consoling a patient's daughter, the girl's tears flowing onto her overworked scrubs." The daughter had just learned that her mother was placed on Hospice care. April's moment of true compassion was just an illustration of the way April shows her being "One Person showing, One Love, at a very special Moment for this family member."
