📓 “They Weren’t Supposed to Be Alone”
A recruitment story for those who still care enough to show up.
(Non-medical. No credentials required. Just a heartbeat that won’t quit.)
She didn’t need a nurse.
She didn’t need someone in scrubs with a clipboard.
She needed a real human being to sit in the quiet with her.
To walk slowly beside her down the sidewalk.
To ask about her garden even though the tomatoes didn’t come in this year.
When I first stepped into her home, the TV was on, but muted.
The tea had gone cold.
There were three calendars on the wall — none of them up to date.
And still, she smiled like I’d been expected.
She didn’t say it, but I knew:
She had gone too many days without being seen.
The agency called it non-medical companion care.
But what it really is…
is showing up.
It’s bringing presence into a room that’s gotten too used to absence.
It’s helping someone feel alive, even when their world’s gotten small.
She told me about her husband.
Said he died with a smile on his face.
She said she just wanted to feel useful again.
