Presence is the oldest medicine we have. Before hospitals, before monitors, before anyone understood what a heart or a brain was doing, people sat with the sick. They held a hand. They stayed through the night. Nobody knew why it helped. They just knew you don't leave someone alone when they're hurting. We've forgotten that. We think healing is something doctors do to you, and everyone else just waits in the hallway. But healing isn't only medicine. Humans are complex creatures. We heal in body, and we heal in spirit, and no doctor can prescribe the second one. Be present when the people you love need you. It could be the difference between recovery and the alternative.
