Yep. When my father was unconscious for a week before he died, I spent a lot of time at his bedside. The hospital staff was nice and made sure we had a room for him alone, even in the ICU, but every day when I stepped out, there was just life, going on out there, completely unbothered by my father lying three floors above, in his bed, dying. For quite a while I was so, so afraid of the same happening to me, one day. I would be alone though, I have no children. I cried, when I told one of the nurses about this thought and she hugged me and told me, they never let people die alone. Helped me a bit, right there.
Nurses are by far the best people in this world. They make me want to be a nurse or counselor or do literally anything to help people. They proved to me how valuable just being a good person is.
