As a Bereavement Volunteer, you will undertake various tasks that extend empathy, reassurance, and resources to grieving families. Your commitment will involve making regular check-in calls, ensuring families know they are not forgotten, and their loved ones are remembered. You will offer a listening ear, a caring presence, and help link families to valuable resources that can aid their healing journey.

* Bereavement Check-In Calls: Reach out to families, providing empathetic support and letting them know they are not alone. Your caring voice will offer comfort during a challenging time.

* Listening Ear: Be there to lend a compassionate ear, allowing families to express their emotions, memories, and concerns. Your attentive presence will provide a safe space for them to share their grief.

* Resource Connection: Assist families in accessing appropriate resources, such as support groups, counseling services, or educational materials. By offering guidance, you will help them find the tools needed for healing and growth.

Your commitment as a Caris Healthcare Bereavement Volunteer will make an extraordinary difference in the lives of grieving families. Your kindness and understanding will provide solace during their most difficult moments.

As Maya Angelou wisely said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Your presence and support will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of those you serve.

Join our team today and make a profound impact on the lives of grieving families!
