We wanted to share our appreciation for the staff on Ward 14 in Hairmyres hospital. They showed our family immeasurable kindness when my husband's mother was put on end of life care.
The nurses showed us the best of humanity with Nadine in particular guiding us through the five days. Nadine showed such compassion when telling the younger members of the family what to expect and also ensured my husband was looking after himself too, even creating a makeshift bed at one point to allow him to stay with his mother longer. Nadine is an absolute credit to the profession, we saw the long hours that she worked but never saw anything but first class care in all of our interactions with her. The world is a better place due to people like Nadine.
Eileen also managed to inject the room with laughter at times, always well placed, which again meant so much to the family in what were difficult circumstances.
Our gratitude seems so little for what they gave us. Please pass on these words to them as their kindness, dedication and compassion will always stay with us.
