To Soothe and To Comfort

As I walked into the patient’s room she was upset due to a procedure she was about to undergo. She asked for me to stay and play to calm her, as she was getting several things put on her. I began playing songs of peace and comfort. When it came to dexterous activity by the nurse I began to then play in Aeolian. The patient sighed and I saw her shoulders relax. After the entire procedure, the patient was smiling with her eyes closed. Both the patient and nurse began expressing their gratitude for the Bedside Harp program. The patient said, “Wow, you made this so peaceful, Thank you!”
