INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING FOR HOSPICE?
As you wonder whether being a hospice volunteer is for you, ask yourself the following questions:
- Can I handle the loss of people I help?
- Am I comfortable with my own mortality?
- Am I flexible enough to accept others views of death without being judgmental?
- Can I respect other lifestyles and cultural differences without being judgmental?
- Am I willing to help others in the way they want me to help?
- Am I independent enough to work on my own?
- Do I have a sense of humor, as well as empathy?
- Do I work well as a team member?
- Is my personal life sufficiently stable that I can make a commitment to be there for others?
- Am I open enough to continue learning about myself as I learn the hospice volunteer role?
- Am I comfortable saying "no" to requests for my time? Can I be assertive about the time I am willing to devote to volunteering?
