While no words can express the depth of my loss, Christine’s exceptional care during a time of unimaginable heartbreak left a profound and lasting impact. At 22 weeks pregnant, I experienced the devastating loss of my child. Christine was my nurse during this deeply personal and emotionally raw experience.

Beyond the technical aspects of her role, Christine provided a level of care that transcended expectations. She held my hand, not just figuratively, but literally, offering a constant source of physical and emotional support. Her gentle words of encouragement were a beacon of comfort in an overwhelming sea of grief. Christine displayed a level of compassion that resonated deeply, allowing me to feel seen, heard, and understood during my darkest hour.

Nurses like Christine are a rare treasure. Her dedication to patient care extends far beyond medical expertise. Her unwavering empathy and genuine human connection embody the true essence of nursing. There is no doubt in my mind that Christine deserves this recognition. In nominating Christine, I hope to bring light to the exceptional care she provides, not just to me, but to countless others navigating the unimaginable.
