Abstract

As caregivers for critically ill children and their families, there are moments when we find ourselves unsure of how best to offer support. The magnitude of the medical experience can cloud our communication with patients and their families. With years of counseling families through some of their most challenging and darkest hours, I aim to emphasize the profound impact of thoughtful and well-informed reassurance; how we can provide hope in hopeless situations.

Keywords: adverse events; cardiac transplantation; mechanical circulatory support; quality‐of‐life.
