As almost always happens, I get really energized by having company, and felt so much better than I had when I first got up, and have continued to feel well for the rest of the day.

This is from the blogpost "Life as A Hospice Patient". It is what I envision volunteers doing for hospice patients. In this case it was friends visiting, bringing well thought out gifts, and ending in a fortune cookie reading of "If you don't have time to live your life now, when do you?"

I think volunteer visits should bring just as much energy to the patient as a visit from a friend. What do you think?

Communication Nation: How to listen

The online training program is ready!

I am too excited about it...posting everywhere because I know this will make an impact across the nation. The more people involved in the knowledge of hospice care the more people that will benefit from those services. I added one more item to the "Communication" module today from the following link;
Communication Nation: How to listen
I hope I can learn to listen as well as I teach it.
