At the end of the day, I know that when I have scheduled a family for their appointment, I’ve made a difference for someone. I can relate to that family because I’ve been in their shoes before and so when they have those questions and fears, I can talk to them about it and explain what to expect and help them understand the process a bit more and have a little less anxiety about what to expect.
