Working on my #CHEST2025 @3wishesprogram.bsky.social presentation & I have SO many heartwarming & heartbreaking stories that I want to share. A moment outside, a final date night, a deeply personal keepsake, a transformed room. There won't be enough time for all the stories I have!

Thinking I'd include this on the last slide of my #CHEST2025 talk. Mainly to express that making a difference in hospitals can come in various shapes and forms, while advertising our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social social media. Is it ok?

Got an email from the German Interdisciplinary Assoc for Intensive Care & Emerg Medicine, who thinks a "webinar on @3wishesprogram.bsky.social would be excellent topic for our audience in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We would like to raise awareness of the project in Europe". How cool is that?

A young daughter lost her father & co-wrote this beautiful song that integrated her father’s heartbeat in the background. May the beauty of this song in her favorite creature, a dragon, help her navigate the future.

Just got this fingerprint painting back for a patient who loves the Grateful Dead and is a total “Deadhead”. Isn’t it amazing? I hope his family loves it! @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

I have a grant that gives a colleague a small amount of salary support to lead the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social at a safety-net hospital. She told me she used that $$ to grant a wish--she got a plane ticket for a young patient dying of refractory leukemia to go back to his home country. Oh my heart

Our volunteers generated another beautiful painting for a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social family. The patient loved music and the sounds of the ocean.

If you tell me your plan is become a butterfly in the after-life, why yes, we will decorate your room this way during your final moments. Who says ICU rooms have to be cold and sterile at the end of life?

She loved it so much. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

A family confirmed that they received their @3wishesprogram.bsky.social plush with their loved one’s favorite song and heartbeat recording. I have to say, I’m so glad these sound modules work so well and can be cherished for a long time.

Our music therapist hand-sewed pouches into these pooh bears to hold the sound modules w/ the patient's heartbeat. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

Today, I learned the Winnie-the-Pooh quote that was so special to this couple: "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." 💔💔💔

Just received these 2 fingerprint paintings from our volunteer artist for the families of a couple of @3wishesprogram.bsky.social patients. Once again, I am so impressed that the artists were able to integrate all the family's requests! I hope the families love them.

Our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social music therapist worked with a family who lost a little boy named Sol. Changing the lyrics slightly, she and the family co-wrote a song to the rhythm of "You are My Sunshine". We will be mailing the parents his heartbeat recording & personalized song in this plush.

Writing a paper on heartbeat recordings and songs today, and opened this one from a couple of years ago. It's still so heartbreaking. A young mom died in our #ICU and her family requested that her heartbeat be integrated into a lullaby for the 1yr old she leaves behind. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

Super excited that I will be speaking about the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social at this course next week. It's pretty cool that they've added workshops on "humanizing critical care".

A volunteer artist created this painting for a family of a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social patient. The patient was a musician and physician, and the painting is perfect.
