Frequently asked questions:
Q: What happens if my patient dies?
A: If your patient passes away, Grace Hospice will try to notify you immediately. All of our volunteers are offered grief counseling for our Chaplain on staff. We do not expect this to be an easy experience and therefore we offer many support services for our volunteers.
Q: I am concerned that I will become too close to my patients and will not be able to handle their deaths. What should I do?
A: At Grace we feel that the best volunteers are those that establish a rapport with a patient. We do not expect anything else. However, if you feel this is a serious concern we would be glad to refer you to numerous volunteer opportunities available in the community.
Q: I have recently lost a family member/friend and experienced the care of hospice services. Would I be able to volunteer after a recent loss?
A: Grace Hospice believes that people need to go through the grieving process, and that everyone's timeframe is different. Usually, an individual needs at least six months before embarking on the volunteer journey.
