Volunteering of “being there”
We stand beside the suffering person
and to the whole family.
Volunteering in hospice and at home
A helping relationship
Protecting the dignity and quality of life of the incurable patient means responding to complex needs, which relate to the health sphere, but also the need for relationship, solidarity, inclusion, and spiritual assistance.
The role of the Volunteer in Palliative Care is to respond to the need for relationships and to actively listen to the sick person in the evolutionary phase of incurable diseases, both in oncology and in non-oncology ones.
The person is in the center, surrounded by family: the Volunteer knows how to listen to history and fears, ready to accompany – with his presence – the trait of life that remains.
A family, five generations.
