My grandfather of 73 years of age recently passed away at home under palliative care. It has been a really difficult time, and an even shorter time with grandad since we were told his diagnosis and how little time we had left.
It wasn’t enough time to tell him everything, but it was enough time to tell him the most important things before he continued onto his next chapter. Grandad was never one to enjoy being fussed over, or one for liking hospitals, and boy did he let his palliative nurse know this fact.
Not only did the kindest, understanding, and most gentle soul Tracey take all of this into her stride, she bent over backwards in a hard time to care not only for her patient but for her patient's family. You made an overwhelming situation seem less of a mountain and more of a chance to sit and reminisce. There is just not the right words to explain how deeply grateful and humbled we are for all of your help, your care, your kindness and your compassion. Thank you so much, and I hope to see you again one day on the wards. ❤️
"A beautiful soul"
