Our Fading History

Hospice work is from the heavens. They (hospice staff) provide so much good care and they experience one of the most important times in ones life.

I hope to do it sometime.

Anita, it is the most unselfish act to become involved at the end of someone's life. DH is with patients 5 out of 7 days a week. He loves would he does. If you have the gift of helps it is a perfect calling. I couldn't do it. He is not only a volunteer inn homes and nursing homes, but a spiritual care lay person and on the 11th hour team which stays with a person around the clock at their time of death.

Hospice is now open to Palliative care, so some of his patients he has had for well over a year. He truly considers it a ministry and he is the one that is blessed with the privilege of serving.

Just by starting this forum alone, I can tell you would be someone to thrive at this. They also have volunteers that strictly do office administration, or prescription delivery. One thing for certain, as you mentioned about the staff, they are the world's most caring organization and people to work with.
