Berkley Bargine, a UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central social worker, helped a patient see his daughter’s wedding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daughter\u2019s hospital wedding brings smiles, light<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Berkley Bargine had just been hired at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central when Colorado began seeing COVID-19 patients in hospitals and the World Health Organization declared the virus a global pandemic.<\/p>\n

For a medical social worker assigned to one of the intensive care units at the hospital, it was an unusual time to start to a new job. Patients with COVID-19 were separated from their families and as a social worker, she could not interact with them or their families face-to-face.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really difficult for all of them and all of us in the ICU to watch, so I kind of latched on to this moment of hope we could do something for this family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The \u201cmoment of hope\u201d was when Bargine learned that a patient in the ICU with a non-COVID diagnosis had always wanted to see his daughter be married. Because of the pandemic, his daughter\u2019s wedding was postponed. The bride-to-be told Bargine she knew her father would not survive that long. He had days, maybe weeks, left.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just really connected, and she was telling me her story,\u201d Bargine recalled. \u201cShe said her dad\u2019s one goal and wish was to make it to her wedding, and that wasn\u2019t going to happen. I had known from the doctors and the nurses that his prognosis was grim and he was incredibly sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first thought was how can we make his final wishes come true and how the heck do we do it with COVID-19 and visitor restrictions? I just kind of suggested to the daughter: \u2018Well, I have no idea if I can make this happen, but how would you feel about a wedding at bedside?\u2019 She became very emotional and said that would be amazing. We spoke with the chaplain, and somehow, miraculously, we were able to make it happen in less than 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next afternoon, the patient \u2013 while still in bed – was pushed into a large waiting area off the ICU. Bargine brought in a vase of white roses for the ceremony, and she and Melanie Baker, the care management social work manager, adorned a wall with white ribbon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for putting this all together,\u201d the patient said. \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, Chaplain Christopher Keith welcomed the patient and the couple. Vows were exchanged. Hugs and kisses soon followed.<\/p>\n

For Keith, it was the fourth ceremony he\u2019d performed at the hospital this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of the weddings had similar situations regarding a hospitalized family member not able to attend a traditional ceremony due to a grave medical condition,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cAs chaplains we are called to meet the spiritual and religious needs of our patients. I have been profoundly touched by the clarity of intention that accompanies a person facing their mortality. We are privileged to listen to their life story and aid in their composing how they want their story to end. \u00a0I have been the officiant in over 250 weddings in my 33 years of ordained ministry, and the most memorable of them have occurred in the hospital setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker said the ceremony \u201cbrought some hope and light in a challenging time in health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt meant so much to support putting together this ceremony to honor our patient\u2019s end of life wishes to see his daughter married. Berkley was key in identifying the patient\u2019s wishes and Chaplain Christopher led a touching ceremony, even prompting the patient to share a few words with his daughter. The patient was able to share just how proud he was of his daughter and how at peace he felt having been able to experience this important moment with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Bargine, the event was uplifting. \u201cIt was a bright moment in a really dark time. It felt like a real triumph for me. It was a reminder that this is what I love doing. It\u2019s an interesting time to be a social worker \u2013 that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of my days I leave crying or kind of solemn, feeling out of control with COVID. That day, I definitely left on a social work high \u2013 just feeling humbled and grateful I could help these people.\u201d<\/p>\n
