What Do Hospice Volunteers Do?
We “be” with you
We listen, really listen, to what you have to say
We find answers to your questions, if answers can be found
We are helpers when we bring a meal or make your phone call
We stay with you quietly while your family goes out
We are not strangers or guests, we think of you as a “new best
friend”
We respect all that you believe in without adding our thoughts to
yours
We honor you as you are at this very moment in time
As you pass through this journey at the end of life
We can hold your hand
We can find help if you feel pain or worry
We can hear your stories and we can help you write them down
We can be with you
