What the fuck man... The fact that this charity exists is heartbreaking. And you've just made me think about my father in a home. :( You poked my heart
I was involved in this program during college. Worked in a hospice clinic. If you’re planning on volunteering, please greatly consider what you’re getting into. It’s definitely not for everyone. Can’t forget some of those people and their stories.
I’ll never forget when I was a nursing student at my emergency department placement. Had an older woman whose bowels perforated and we all knew there was no way she was going to make it with her age and frail health. We called all NOK telling them her time was now, none of them could make it - due to them being at work/not having a babysitter/etc. The nursing staff ended up dimming the lights, holding her hand, and soothing her until she passed away in an ED bed surrounded by strangers.
