Volunteering In Hospice
Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families in the final stages of a terminal illness.
What volunteers do:
Volunteers can listen, talk with them, hold their hand, read to them, comfort a family member, help with light yard work, run errands, or give family members a break from the rigors of care giving.
Volunteers and Families:
Volunteers are indispensable in helping families cope. In some cases, patients are more comfortable speaking about dying with a volunteer trained to listen than to their own families.
Remember your presence and enthusiasm can make the difference in how a dying person approaches what could be the most frightening experience in his or her life.
You CAN make a difference!
