But when a family endures a loss of this kind, the nurses and staff at the MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital Family Birth Center extend a special gesture of comfort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe give a teddy bear to our families who go home with empty arms due to a fetal loss,\u201d says LaVena Narvaiz, BSN, RNC-OB, nurse manager of the Family Birth Center. \u201cThe bear serves as a memento for parents and can sometimes help older siblings cope with the grief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a loss occurred last week, several staff members \u2014 Raeli Korzeniecki, BSN-RN; Lindsey Sanborn, RN; and Stephanie Travis Douglas, health unit coordinator \u2014 went to get a teddy bear from the closet where they are stored and found the closet was empty.<\/p>\n<p>Korzeniecki then purchased a bear with her own money from the gift shop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing the patient\u2019s story and background, I made sure to pick one that would be a perfect fit,\u201d she says. \u201cThankfully we don\u2019t get these types of situations often, but when we do, it\u2019s nice to have the ability to offer something tangible to comfort these grieving families.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nurse springs into action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To ensure the closet had more bears on hand, Korzeniecki had an idea \u2014 she would seek donations from her close friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI quickly ran to Vena\u2019s office to get approval of my idea,\u201d she explains. \u201cOnce approved, Stephanie helped me set up an Amazon wish list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Korzeniecki then posted her request for donations on Facebook. The response was overwhelming. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-36309 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/01\/staff-with-bears_2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Two health care workers in scrubs organize teddy bears on a table\" width=\"212\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/01\/staff-with-bears_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/01\/staff-with-bears_2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/01\/staff-with-bears_2.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time my 12-hour shift was over, more than 250 bears had been ordered,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>When Korzeniecki headed out for work the next morning, hundreds of packages of teddy bears sat on her porch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in complete shock,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI had chills thinking how such an innocent ask could turn into something so big and impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>An overwhelming response<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And they kept piling in.
