I worked with Odette as an active case manager in Ardwick, central Manchester. Odette and I had a complex, deep friendship and respect for each other. Odette and I have such different approaches to work, life and Nursing - and she taught me so much. As a nurse with less experience than Odette, I gained a perspective and insight from her that was enlightening. For a long time it was like we spoke a different language, we had different worldly views - and we really put each other through some tests. through our mutual persistence and curiosity eventually we realised we actually had similar core values/morals. That base of mutual respect lead to in-depth, and explorative conversations around love, family, nursing, the NHS, the privatisation of healthcare, limitations/ and expectations, health, diversity and interior design! Odette's soul was timeless. She truly shaped me personally and my nursing profession. When I left working with Odette, she threw me a leaving party - I will forever be thankful for her for this. I felt so special, unique and loved - and she organised everyone buying me a nutribullet (which she knew i wanted), which I used daily still! She also knew where my favourite lake was, and gave me a print of it. Odette was thoughtful, thought provoking and best of all - a bit cheeky! we used to sit in meetings, and give each other knowing looks - which we would then giggle about later, or sometimes get caught doing mid meeting! Rest painless and in peace Odette - thank you for being part of my life. Your eternal friend, Katie x
