Amongst the Angels

Tags: birth end of life infants pathology

Most women enter the hospital and leave with wonderful pictures and memories. Their infant bundled tightly in their arms and their vehicles await them to whisk them away to the sleepless nights as the parent of an infant which all too soon turn into the sleepless nights of the parent of a teenager. But there are those few mothers who are wheeled to their vehicles whose arms are empty and whose infant spirits reside in the arms of the angels and whose bodies rest in Pathology awaiting their final destination. It is my job to receive these infants and let them rest until they are transported. I work amongst the angels.
