Michelle Bennett didn't think she'd be able to say goodbye to her mother before she died. But a nurse at Swedish Issaquah hospital in Washington took it upon herself to make sure it happened.

"Not being able to be there and hold my mom's hand, rub her head, tell her the things I wanted to say her. It was such a helpless feeling, I can just remember the days leading up feeling so frustrated and helpless and not being able to talk to her because she was not conscious during that time," Bennett told CNN Monday.

But a nurse at Swedish Issaquah hospital in Washington took it upon herself to make sure Bennett got to say her goodbyes. Bennett told CNN the nurse called her from her personal cell phone and said her mother's breathing was changing and she probably wouldn't live much longer."I'm going to put the phone up to her face so you can tell her you love her and say your goodbyes," Bennett says the nurse told her. "She will not be alone, we will stay with her till the end.

"I know how difficult this is for them," she said. "I can't imagine being on the front lines of that and having to go home everyday and risk infection themselves, but then have the compassion and the empathy to be right there in that moment as if it was their own mother. That was one of the most amazing things I've experienced."

Trump says U.S. will not pay for Harry and Meghan's securityU.S. President Donald Trump says his government will not foot the bill for Prince Harry and Meghan’s security costs in the U.S. amid reports that the couple has opted to live in California rather than B.C. as originally suggested. If he won't foot-the-bill for the American populace, why would he for these two? Who cares what he says.. his country is in major trouble right now and he’s worried about Megs and Harry Unreal There's the difference right there. Decisiveness and not a pussy.
