SERVICE OF ONES OWN FREE WILL

I would like to volunteer for Hospice. Hospice is an organization that cares for individuals that are preparing for death. It is not easy to guess when someone while pass away, even people educated in the field have a hard time; Infact there are people who have been on and off hospice several times. The body just naturally wants to live in most cases. Hospice and there many employees and volunteers tend to client needs in many ways. They help medically, physically, and emotionally. they make sure they have appropriate medications, they try to keep their pain levels null or to a minim, and make them as comfortable possible. Hospice personnel bathe clients, for they are usually very fragile. They arrange for pressure relieving devices to help their injury sensitive body's. They talk with the clients to find out their beliefs, and what brings them enjoyment,or just something they were not able to get done. Then if possible they try to provide those thing for them.
I think I would be good at this, for I have years of experience working with the elderly. I have been there several times for people in their last days of life. I am able to handle being around someone dying and it brings me pleasure to give someone a smile or some sort of comfort in their last days. Unless your fortunate enough to die quietly and unsuspectingly in your sleep. Often times death towards the end seems to be some sort of battle whether it be the body,mind or soul we just want to hang on. This is why sometimes its just so hard for families.
I believe this would be a good area to volunteer.I am compationate and I can do what needs to be done with out getting too emotional. I seem to save that until its all over. While I am caring for someone, I seem to have tunnel vision. My main concern is them, I talk to them whether they can respond or not, and make them as comfortable as possible. So as a volunteer or even a job, I think I'd be a great asset to help those in need at Hospice.
