I was ready to quit.
Burned out. Empty. Carrying years of trauma beneath my scrubs.
This is a true emotional healthcare story about a single night shift, one patient, and the quiet moment that stopped a nurse from walking away forever.
In Room 206, I met a dying woman who reminded me why compassion still matters—even when you feel invisible, exhausted, and broken.
This story isn’t about death.
It’s about meaning, human connection, and why sometimes patients heal the caregivers.
