Nurses regularly visited Morrie's home to assist with his declining physical condition, specifically focusing on his legs. They engaged in exercises that resembled the repetitive motion of drawing water from a well, aiming to maintain his mobility as his health deteriorated. This physical work was part of a broader effort to cope with his illness.

In addition to physical care, Morrie embraced meditation as a means to find peace despite his circumstances. He practiced narrowing his thoughts, concentrating solely on his breathing, allowing his mind to quiet and his world to simplify into the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling, which provided him a sense of calm amidst his struggles.
