“Every person should have a copy of this book. The author is a nurse that witnessed people struggling with the process of having a loved one in intensive care. I gifted my copy to a friend that was overwhelmed with a family member in ICU. She said it was an unbelievable help to their family.”
Anonymous amazon review
“As a nurse with 14 years experience in ICUs, I wholeheartedly endorse this thoughtful offering made for the tough times. The ICU Diary for Families not only supports patients and their families through their hospitalization and Post ICU Syndrome, it also helps the nurses who are caring for them. The diary decreases the workload of the ICU RN by providing visitors direction on how to organize their questions, appoint a family spokesperson, navigate multidisciplinary services and more. All of this information is presented in a way designed to help family members ground themselves and work with their emotions.”
