Still Here: Filling the Gaps in How We Care for the Dying

In this Unfiltered Friday episode of The Men of the House Podcast, host Richard Craft opens up about the heart behind his next chapter — Nobody Should Die Alone, a mission born from his firsthand experience as a 24/7 caregiver to an aging veteran who had no family to care for him.

Richard reflects on the difference between medical care and human care — and why in our modern systems, we often confuse the two. From home health to hospice, the “transactional” part of end-of-life is covered. But what’s missing is presence. Compassion. Connection. Humanity.

This episode is a call to slow down, to remember that our value isn’t in being perfect — it’s in being present. Whether it’s sitting quietly beside someone in their final days or showing up for a loved one who feels forgotten, it’s the stillness that often matters most.

👉 In this episode, Richard explores:

• Why presence means more than doing everything “right”
• How his experience caring for “Buck” inspired Nobody Should Die Alone
• The emotional gaps in modern end-of-life care
• What it means to bring humanity back into life’s most sacred moments
• How we can all play a role in helping others feel seen — until the very end

If you’ve ever wondered how to find meaning in simply showing up, this episode is for you. It’s a quiet reminder that being present is the greatest gift you can give — to others and to yourself.
