Reply to comment by _Tamora_ in A paramedic fought to save a crash victim, not knowing it was her daughter by ComfortableFactor1

Yeah! Of all things you would hope for in such a situation, is your parents to be there to comfort you.

So I sure hope that Montana was aware of who helped her, and took some comfort in that.

Still, horrible way to see your child die, but at least she was there and did what she could to keep her daughter alive. Perhaps it was (in some way) better she didn’t know who she helped, as it might have been to horrible to bear on the scene.

So true. I never really got why dying soldiers in movies called out to their mothers until I got into a bad accident as a grown-ass adult myself. My mom wasn't even in the same country, and actually gets mad at me if I get sick or injured doing stupid shit, and still one of the first things I did was stupidly call out for her. It's automatic, it's instinct, as if her being there will somehow save you and keep you safe and make everything horrible go away. Poor Montana. The best thing to hope for is that she was unconscious throughout; the next biggest mercy is that if she was conscious, she knew her mother was there.

There are studies that show your mothers voice, regardless of the age of the child, months old, or in you 50's, reduces stress. Oxytocin is a hell of a hormone.
