Halfway to Officially Volunteering for Hospice!

Well, I've gone through the application and orientation processes. So, after I return from my cruise in a month, I'll be assigned a family to work with. I was glad to hear that it is pretty much what I hoped it would be - that the focus isn't on the end of life, but making it as good as it can be while they are still living. I'm really hoping that it will help me not to have such a strong fear of dying.
