Bereavement Support Volunteers provide continued support to family and friends after the death of a loved one, with phone calls and visits and are understanding listeners. They know that grief is a normal process that follows the death of a loved one and that each person's grief experience is unique. Under the guidance of Homeland Hospice's Bereavement Coordinators, volunteers offer guidance through individual support.

The journey that begins for those left behind after the death of a loved one can be lonely and sad. Knowing that someone is staying connected with them by phone or visits can help a grieving person through one more day, one more month, one more holiday season.

If you would like to develop a support-type relationship through phone calls, visits, or perhaps going to lunch - contact Homeland Hospice. Being a Bereavement Volunteer is about "being there", and caring - our volunteers make an amazing difference!

*Homeland Hospice's Office is located in Harrisburg, PA, but serves 14 South Central PA counties, including: Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Northumberland, Perry, Schuylkill, and York. Volunteers are able to share where it is that they would like to serve - near home or work.
