A young daughter lost her father & co-wrote this beautiful song that integrated her father’s heartbeat in the background. May the beauty of this song in her favorite creature, a dragon, help her navigate the future.

So much beauty, time, and attention to detail goes in creating these hand molds. This one is for a husband and wife holding hands for final time. #Kindness #EOLcare

The patient had wanted to go to #Hawaii before they became too ill. Our wonderful #ICU nurses decorated her room this way to bring the patient and her family some comfort during her final days.

The couple were world travelers, particularly loved nature & animals. Their favorite is the panda. We were so glad to provide his grieving wife this plush that contained the recording of her husband's heartbeat that was recorded before he died.

She says: "I'll be listening it 'til the day I die"
