Patricia Kasbohm Hope Network Director of Operations, 59, Has Died
Particularly inside the emergency department, the abrupt death of a Rachel Griffin has left colleagues and family members in mourning. The last shift spent together now serves as a lifelong memory, commemorating the last times spent in an area once rife with friendship and common commitment. From helping the last patient to counting out for the last time, the weight of this loss is unbounded.
Remembered as a kind presence, well loved by people under her duties and coworkers, the difference created by relentless dedication and hard work cannot be emphasised. The impact goes well beyond career success many lives would be profoundly changed without fully appreciating the scope of that reach.
The Time Rachel Griffin spent inside those hospital walls defined pride in the profession, perfection in every duty, and a real enthusiasm for patient care. Starting as a shared trip through nursing school, a relationship grew stronger at every turning point graduation, job start-up, and the aspirations of a future yet to be written.
Ashley Leanne Norman Took To Social Media To Announce The Passing:
“Sunday night was a call I never wanted to get. Rachel G Griffin, I am absolutely lost for words. I can’t believe Saturday night / Sunday morning was our last everything together. We triaged our last patient together. We clocked out of our shift for the last time together. I am so broken we lost such a sweet soul so soon. Rachel was loved by so many, especially in our ER, by all of her patients and coworkers. You made such an impact on so many, you didn’t realize it. Rachel took pride in her work as a nurse and was proud to have those letters behind her name. She excelled in all areas but especially in her patient care!!I am so blessed to of called you my best friend. We got through nursing school together, graduated together, got you married to the love of your life, and started the career of our dreams together.. we had plans to finish our RN together. We had so much more things to do together!!! I promise I’ll carry you through RN school with me. Our ER won’t be the same without you in it. We’d always give a hug and say “be safe going home, I love you and see ya tonight” after every shift. Lord I’m gonna miss that
Working in an ER we see death often. It’s our job. We see these families and friends breaking down after their loved one passes away, we always say “we couldn’t imagine going through that.” It really hits home when it’s one of our own. Rachel and I during nursing school talked about working in trauma center, then one day gaining our nursing flight wings. But my sweet girl did gain her flight wings
Rest easy, until we meet again
Everyone please say a prayer for her husband Greg Griffin, her parents, brother, In laws, friends and extended family.
