Two Weeks After Our Baby Died, My 8-Year-Old Whispered, “Mom, She Isn’t Gone—I Saw What Daddy Did at the Hospital”
The hospital acknowledged that once I was awake and medically able to participate, staff should have confirmed my wishes directly.
They had deferred too heavily to my husband’s request.
No villain.
No cover-up.
A process gap.
They described changes already being made:
Direct documentation of both parents’ preferences when possible.
Separate confirmation once an incapacitated parent regained capacity.
