It’s never easy for anyone when someone they know passes on, especially when it comes out of the blue.
Given the struggles that many frontliners face, it also hits as hard, if not more so, for fellow frontliners when one of their own passes on.
A nurse who worked at SGH passed away last week.
Tributes poured in on Instagram page @sgnightingales, offering messages of care and compassion.
