Quotes

• “As guys, we wanna fix it. It's inherent in our nature. We're fixers and we wanna do, it's the most helpless feeling for a guy to have a wife that is just chronically ill.” (09:39-09:49 | Steve)
• “I would mentally look back at my day and say, "Did I love my wife to the best of my abilities?" And if I didn't, I'm setting my intention tomorrow to do an even better job. So that way, no regrets.” (13:10-13:25 | Steve)
• “There are hundreds of studies that talk about the dangers of loneliness and isolation– decreasing health outcomes. And how having a loved one there aids in the healing process– increases health outcomes.” (18:05-18:19 | Steve)
• “I created The Never Alone Project because patients should have the right to one loved-one per day, no time limits, and it needs to be written into federal law because it is not the job of the nurse.” (22:42-28:25 | Steve)
