A Nurse’s Story: Marco Shares a Heartbreaking Day at Work
Marco’s Emotional Day as a Nurse
My name is Marco. I am a nurse. And today… I cried in the hallway. No one recognized me. No one asked if I was okay.
A Day Filled With Loss
Today, I accompanied two patients on their final journey. I hugged a father who had just lost his son. I washed a gentleman’s hair — he smiled, tired, and said: “At least I’ll come out clean.” He held my hand tightly. No one from his family came to say goodbye.
The Weight Nurses Carry
Every day, I try my best: care, closeness, and human warmth. But in the midst of helping others, you often forget to give yourself a little tenderness.
A Simple Wish
I don’t ask for applause. I only ask that — if it’s not too much — someone says: “Hey Marco.” Maybe then, today I’ll feel a little less lonely.
