Im not a volunteer, Im a volunteer coordinator. I train volunteers. Yes, I have lots of great information for you. Can you email me? missionhospicevolunteers@gmail.com
I am sorry I am a little late responding. I was away.
I have been an RN for 45 years, via a hospital diploma school. I have had a varied career. My most recent clicnal experience was in a Neuro dept , in a FL hospital. This made me more prepared for home hospice work in 1995.
In 2001, we moved to TX where I worked for a hospice that served a nursing home population that was near their last months. Each undertaking has prepared me for the next, as my family deaths began to occur, I was more skilled care to give care to the parents, (then sibling) who paid for my schooling. How fitting. Now, I am newly retired; My certicfication (specialty) is in Hospice & Palliative Care. I highly recommend this HPNA national group. Our local group HPNA Ft Worth has a great web site: www.geocities.com/hpnafw
I am currently teaching a yoga class to students with Neurological diseases. Isn't that amazing, how we are led to new ways to serve? Let me know if I answered your questions.
Blessings,
Lorna
I went to a talk on Dying this past Friday...by psychotherapist and local Colorado author Dr Judy K. Underwood. She spoke about her new book, Dying: Finding Comfort and Guidance in a Story of a Peaceful Passing....great forward by Dr Bernie Siegel. She made great comparisons between birth and death. In our culture it is generally accepted that when giving birth a woman needs help...she wishes that those who are dying could get as much help, especially coaching. I agree that families wait to long to get valuable Hospice care...like doctors...dying is often seen as failure...or giving up.
I was an active Hospice volunteer for over five years. It was a great experience...I saw many pass peacefully. Now in my work with Visiting Angels Home Care...I am often matched with clients who are terminal. My wish would be for more education about Hospice and what is available. My biggest challenges lately have been with clients who have Alzheimer's...who are in pain that could be better controlled. They are at the mercy of family member with Power of Attorney...and again...they wait too long to get Hospice care. It has been difficult to see the hesitation and know it could be better for all involved.
I just can't say enough wonderful things about Hospice...the best care for the dying. I recently read another informational book on dying, Good To Go: The ABC's of Death and Dying by Jo Myers...very good! Suzanne
