Hospice Volunteers Use Their Training, Skills, & InterestsHospice Volunteer. An elderly man, his daughter and granddaughter smile together in a well-lit room.

When someone is dying, friends and family sometimes pull away, afraid of what is happening and at a loss for what to say.

  • A hospice volunteer helps fill that gap by being a companion who understands the process of dying.
  • They provide compassion, comic relief, and conversation.
  • Because death is such a sensitive issue, hospice volunteers go through extensive training.
  • This training teaches them the history of hospice, the goals and philosophy of care, emergency procedures, and what to expect during the stages of death.
