I have been a Hospice volunteer for the last six years. I have met such wonderful people, both the patients and families. When faced with death most people need to talk but don't want to burden their families. I am there to give families some respite. I have written letters for patients, held their hands, taken them out in wheelchairs and just listened while they talked about their lives. I am truly blessed because they give so much more to me than I could ever give to them.
