Diane Severud's daughter, Cory, passed away in the Adventist Health Sonora ICU a few months before nurse Jessica Hamilton started a special program at the hospital for family members experiencing a loss like hers. The Heartbeat in a Bottle project provides a keepsake for families to treasure after a loved one has passed. When Diane saw our social media post about the project, she reached out to our team. Knowing grieving families need more comfort and compassion, Jessica, her ICU coworkers and our medical records department worked together to make a Heartbeat in a Bottle that has Cory’s EKG reading inside of it for Diane. Watch the video to hear more about what receiving this gift means to Diane. #MadeForMore #AdventistHealthSonora

100% / We received this for my brother just 5 weeks ago when he passed. We were blown away by all the amazing beautiful gestures and this especially was so touching. My sister in law had it tattooed on her wrist. Thank you so much for thinking of a beautiful way to show care and love in our darkest hour. My brother's name was Hart.
How touching is this story. Brings tears to your eyes and soften your heart. And reminds us why we all got in healthcare to begin with.
This is incredibly powerful. Thank you to all that are involved in such a necessary piece to these families journey of healing. 🙏🏼
