Imagine for a moment losing your loved one...feeing the loss and loneliness while trying to recreate a life without them. Now imagine losing your loved one to COVID-19 and not being able to be with them at end of life or have a funeral that includes all your family and friends. This is the reality of our world right now. You can help. Bereavement Volunteers help ease the pain and uncertainty with friendly phone calls. We've cared for our patients and families at end of life. We now care for those left to carry on.
Join our Bereavement Team in providing friendly, well-being phone calls to grieving families. Calls can be assigned and made from the safety of your home and documented electronically.
Bereavement Volunteers are people helping people by offering friendship, a listening ear, a word of encouragement and resources as needed.
This is an excellent opportunity for mature volunteers searching for a meaningful way to help others. Training and support are provided free of charge. Time is flexible based on individual availability.
