When Nothing Can Be Fixed

I've spent much of my life in hospitals and ICUs, standing beside suffering that doesn't resolve and prayers that don't wrap up neatly. After a while, explanations stop helping. In this episode, I reflect on what has steadied me as a caregiver when nothing can be fixed. I talk about walking into yet another surgery knowing exactly how hard it will be, about learning what real comfort sounds like when fear is louder than reason, and about why old hymns and familiar Scripture matter more than new words in those moments. This is not about solutions or spiritual shortcuts. It's a reflection from the long middle, for caregivers who have learned that hope doesn't always arrive with answers, but it does arrive with company.
