In praise of Hospice organizations
by redwine on Jun.19, 2009, under Uncategorized
Hi Everybody - There are times in my life when I want to stand up and shout to let the whole world know about something or somebody who is outstanding. I’ve had the humbling experience of working with the local Hospice organization during my brother’s last few months, and now with the Santa Cruz County Hospice organization working with my sister’s situation. I say “humbling” because of the huge amount of compassion and sacrifice that this organization and its nurses exhibit daily. I can’t imagine what it must be like to constantly work with terminal patients, 24/7, often becoming friends (how can you not when you’re compassionate), only to watch their condition worsen and then depart. You are all angels and my heart goes out to you for your work.
If you’re feeling benevolent, look up your local hospice and make a donation. Someday you might encounter their work and be very greatful that you helped keep the organization functioning.
Blessings - Jim
