Healing is a difficult concept to describe, quantify, or replicate. It is a complex mixture of personal contributions from the professional providing care, including competence, compassion, and empathy, that conjoins with the needs, sensitivities, and receptivity of the one who is receiving the care. Although it may be difficult to predict all the elements that come together to initiate sustained healing, as well as the long-term impact, it is important to observe the moments that make a difference. For those who study the nature of healing, a patient's reflections can surface the kinds of elements that are present when healing is sustained. [ J Contin Educ Nurs . 2024;55(7):326-327.] .
