Megan,

I still remember my first time meeting you as a volunteer when you were covering for 7W. I thought "Wow she has the same name as me and is SO cool."

Fast forward many years to us co-supervising a student together! Can't believe that. I couldn't imagine a better co-supervisor...we had so many laughs and I learned SO much from your experience. I will never forget that clip art pic when I accidentally removed a parent...

You have made an enormous impact on all of us as a department, on your unit, and at BCH as a whole. It has been such an honor to work with you. I'm so happy it's not a true goodbye and that you will still be here from time to time. Hoping to see you in Cardio !!! Wishing you the best of luck and hope to stay in touch.

I'm in denial about this next step and coping with housewives (per usual).

I can't begin to articulate how much of an impact you have had on so many people here. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been witness to so many of your big, noticeable accomplishments along with the the small, behind the scenes moments that have had just as much of a difference.

I am incredibly grateful for your wisdom, your compassion, your presence, and your ability to fight for what is just and right with grace and connection. Your advocacy for our department and the patients and families that you have worked with will not be forgotten and has had an effect that continues to ripple outwards. I am so appreciative of all of the time and expertise you have shared - I am a better clinician because of you.

Two things can be true: I am thrilled for all of the amazing things to come for you at home and here AND I will miss you beyond measure.

I'm so lucky to have worked with you from the very beginning of you child life career and to have you as the most incredible colleague and treasured friend.

So much love,

Christine

Megan, I could go on forever... You have inspired me since I was a volunteer learning the layout of BCH. Your gentle, warm, and calm approach always made me feel comfortable confiding and processing with you in moments of passing, when you somehow always knew just the right question to ask. You found ways to take time and hold space for everyone. I will forever wish we had the opportunity to work more closely, but I think my incredible admiration for you from purely witnessing your magic, receiving your light, hearing about your care from families, and applauding you when you stood up for everyone says enough about the vibration you sent through this department and the mountains that you stood tall on and moved. You honor the work of being a child life specialist in a way that I will always aspire to to do. Your babes are so lucky to have your energy during this precious time. Wishing you all the glimmers <3 -Ashley

Megan, you will be truly missed by so many people.  I want you to know that I have admired you in so many ways.  But what has stood out the most to me is your ability to say the “right thing.” To be good at this involves a combination of empathy, active listening, emotional intelligence, and effective communication skills-you have them all!  One of your many special gifts is to be able to understand another person’s perspective and respond in a way that acknowledges their feelings. You are a very special person and I feel fortunate to have worked with you! I want to wish you and your wonderful family all the best that life can bring!

Megan,

I know we never officially got to work together but learning from you when I was a volunteer, shaped and guided my child life journey so much, and I will forever be grateful for all of your support and teaching over the years.

Damn, this is a hard one.. All I can think of is THANK YOU!! Thanks for being an amazing teacher to all of us, thanks for being the best listener, thanks for allowing us to have hard conversations and THANKS for being a shining light and a warm blanket to patients and families during their worst moments.

You will always be part of this team and your legacy will continue to live on forever.

Love always,

Megan-

Your compassionate work and kind soul will be so missed at BCH. Thanks for always being a fountain to everyone around you. The staff (Me), patients and families are better having worked with you. I can't wait to see what life brings you next, you deserve all the good things!

Megan,

You will be so incredibly missed here, but I'm so glad you'll be able to be home with your beautiful babies as they grow up. They're so lucky to have you, as we have been here. In a department chock full of amazing child life specialists, you stand out. Your kindness, skill, generosity, compassion, dedication, teamwork, and creativity are top notch. Your presence in our department and in this hospital has been such a pleasure. I look forward to catching up when we can in the future. Thank you for ALL you've done for BCH's patients and families and for our department. I'll miss you for sure! -Robyn

Megan!! Had to share a nice lucky 7 picture from the days of dreaming about working a BCH.

You have accomplished some pretty incredible things here and it has been amazing to learn from you along the way. Thank you for all the times you have supported your colleagues and your ability to make everyone around you feel heard.

You have taught so many of us with your ability to relate, support, encourage and teach! I am forever grateful for you!

Your babes are so lucky to have you there to support them as they grow!

Love,

I am going to miss working right below you. You have been such an asset to this team, hospital and especially the patients and families you have cared for over the years. Keep shining that bright light of yours. You are making the best decision for your family, and we are all here to support you. Love you lots lobster. <3 "Brittany 6W"

Megan!

If you had told me while shadowing you as a first semester child life intern that one day I would eventually work alongside you, I would've thought you were lying. You have taught me how to meet people where they are, practice with unconditional positive regard, the power of advocacy, and what is looks like to let empathy and compassion lead. Thank you for fueling my passion for celebrating and sitting with the ways in which love, joy, hardship, and grief coexist with each other. Never doubt how wildly capable you are of all things. Know how deserving you are of the love that so many patients, families, and team members have for the ways you have impacted our lives for the better.

Dr. Alan Wolfet and I love you!

The MSICU won't be the same without you!!! We're going to miss you, Megan!!

# data[].attributes.body
Megan,

First of all, I am so immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside you in the MSICU!!! I cannot put into words how much you have taught me and how much you've inspired me over the last year and a half. I feel so lucky to have watched firsthand the impact you make each and every day here at BCH. The MSICU can be a tough part of the hospital to work in, but you handle everything with so much grace and patience that you make it look easy. I will never forget shadowing you during my first few weeks and being in awe of you as a CLS. You meet with patients and families during some of their most difficult moments, but bring such a warmth to those environments that it makes everyone feel at ease. I, like so many others in this department, will always look up to you for this reason. I'm so thankful for all the time we spent laughing, debriefing, collaborating, making jokes (we laugh so we don't cry!!!), and having you as a soundboard as you're always willing to listen ("tell me!"). I know I speak for everyone when I say how much you'll be missed, in the department, in the cohort, and in the MSICU. Gianni and Luciana are so lucky to have you as their mom and I'm so happy that you're getting the time and space to be with them. Thank you for everything you have given this department/hospital, thank you for having confidence in me as a CLS when I didn't believe in myself, and thank you for always being your most genuine and bright self. I will always feel so lucky to know you!!!!

Love,

Mae

Megan,

Thank you so much for being an amazing mentor and coworker! The time I have worked with you have been some of my best days at BCH. You are an inspiration to everyone in the Child Life field and bring so many valuable assets to the job every day! I have learned so much and got to experience firsthand your impact on these kids at BCH! Your encouragement, positivity, and compliments always put a smile on my face! The empathy and compassion you bring into work is felt by everyone around you! I feel so grateful to have been able to work with you and get to know you! I know wherever or whatever you end up doing in the future, you will continue to inspire others. We will miss you!

Love,

Jenna

Megan. There are no words, or at least that will be of acceptable length to write here, to express to you how legendary you are in this department. I will forever cherish our time together in the ICU's, despite how much we now just can't unsee. Despite the very true trauma, you taught me so much about patience, listening, advocacy, self-respect, respect for others, and trauma-informed care. If there is one person in this department that I learned the most from -- it would be you. Thank you for being such a legend and for being a legendary friend. You got me through so many days at work and I will miss that most of all. Luch and G are beyond lucky to have you at the center of their world and you deserve this time to feel all of their love, all the time. Love youuuu! - Jamie (D3)

# data[].attributes.body
From being one of my favorite students, to a coworker who I admire! You will be so missed around the hospital, but I am glad to hear that you will stay per diem. G & Luciana are the luckiest to call you mommy. Keep on soaking up this special time! You deserve it as you have given so much of yourself to so many families here at the hospital. I know you'll continue to shine brightly with whatever lays ahead and I hope that someday we will work together again. Thanks for all that you have done for our department and the hospital. Love, Sam

I am so thankful that you were a CLS at BCH when I started here. You have always been a helpful hand and someone that I could go to for advice. I hope to see you on your per diem shifts sometimes!

Megan,

I feel so honored to know you, learn from you, and work alongside you. You are truly such a light and I look up to you as a person and especially as a child life specialist. I vividly remember observing you when preparing to cover your maternity leave and being completely inspired and astonished by your work. You have made such an impact on my style of work and perspective in the field. Just your presence brings me and others so much peace. You have touched many and will continue to do so. We will miss you so much! Wishing you only the best in this new chapter!

Love,

Julia

Megan- you have been a strong member and leader within our CL department. Your warm, caring, and compassionate approach has made such a difference in the work you do with patients and families daily.

Thank you for all your wisdom, support, guidance, encouragement and inspiration you have shared with so many of us in the department. Whenever there is a difficult situation that needs love and empathy, I often think "what would Megan say." I do not think I am alone in that thought process either! Thank you for everything you have done for me, the department and the children and families of BCH. Wishing you all the best.

With love!
