After entering the patient\u2019s room, Lamb set down the guitar case and walked in to meet the patient. She instantly looked at Lamb and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s in that case?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamb pulled out the guitar, and the two were soon able to connect through folk-country music. The patient sang a favorite song that wasn\u2019t familiar to Lamb, who went home and learned how to play it, returning to the bedside two days later to sing with the patient.<\/p>\n<p>As the patient\u2019s tensions eased, the care team connected her with her son. After years apart, they bonded over one of the songs she and Lamb had been singing. The son later thanked Lamb for their role in fostering the reconnection.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb said playing guitar in the hospital \u201clifts the mood. Kind of like pet therapy dogs, I have my therapy guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamb joined UCHealth in 2017. Their path to becoming a chaplain started with summer camp experiences as a spiritual advisor and worship leader, which led to seminary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring my first semester of seminary, we had local hospital chaplains come visit our class to workshop with us, and a lightbulb went off for me,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cI could see myself doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamb\u2019s chaplain role spans moments of joy and sorrow. They offer leadership during times of celebration, such as blessings of new patient care spaces. Often, their work involves providing emotional and spiritual support for patients and families during end-of-life care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy hope is: If we can show up well in difficult moments,\u201d Lamb said, \u201cthen we can take what could be, potentially, a very traumatic situation and \u2013 instead \u2013 help the families experience what it is to be companioned and cared for through the most difficult moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><b data-ogsc=\"\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easing a patient\u2019s distress with a six-string As the chaplain supervisor with UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital, Christopher Lamb often sets an acoustic guitar at the entrance of a patient\u2019s room before entering. \u201cA lot of what we do as chaplains is show up when there\u2019s acute emotional distress and help people identify the inner resources [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2242,"featured_media":89235,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"on","_relevanssi_hide_content":"on","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Relevanssi image attachment filter Relevanssi index exclude","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4826],"class_list":["post-88326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-you-make-extraordinary-possible"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
