I’m honored and blessed to be sharing over at Mamalode today. Mamalode publishes thought-provoking, heartfelt articles that offer hope for our mothering journey. The story I’m sharing today is a story that took me almost five years to write, because for a long time, the recollection of it only brought pain. It’s a story from my ER nursing days, a story of a young girl who left us too soon. But now her message has the power to encourage another, and possibly even to save a life. Warning: This is a GRAPHIC POST that may not be suitable for all readers. Potential triggers: eating disorders, pediatric mortality, postmortem care.
