There was a patient in the FSMC ICU with anoxic brain injury. The case was a tragedy - a 23-year-old overdose. I had been following the case as a hospice RN with Accent Care Hospice. The family was large and in terrible distress as they were making decisions for the end of life for a young man. Lauren had been caring for the patient a couple of nights in a row in the ICU, and she was part of this difficult journey. The family had made the decision to move forward with a living legacy, and today was the day. The family had quickly accepted the love and support of the ICU team, and particularly Lauren. They were anxious and inconsolable as the moment drew near, and Lauren anticipated this and stayed (off the clock) late to be supportive. The family then asked her to stay longer as a means of support and comfort. Lauren had worked her 12 hours and had her rehearsal dinner scheduled for this evening and her wedding in 2 days. The legacy work was delayed several times, but Lauren didn't complain. Rather, she insisted on staying with the family and helping them with preparing and coping with the situation and what was to come. I watched her give hugs, sympathy, and support to the family for several hours. The family kept coming, and she offered empathy and compassion to everyone (25+ people). She took each person to the bedside and shared sympathy and compassion with every person. The legacy walk was very emotional, and Lauren comforted the family afterwards and offered to walk people to the OR waiting area. I discussed with the living legacy rep, Tessa, my thoughts that Lauren had gone above and beyond, and we both agreed this was an extraordinary effort and display of kindness and compassion that all nurses should strive to achieve.
