When Evening Comes: the Education of a Hospice Volunteer
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books
- Publish date: 10/01/2000
Description:
Not all hospice volunteers are medical professionals. Many, like Christine Andreae, are there to help the patient in day-to-day ways -- running errands, driving them to appointments, making phone calls, sorting out their insurance forms -- all the small demands that the patient cannot undertake and no one in the family may be free -- or willing -- to do.
Expand description
Probably most important, the hospice volunteers provide companionship. Their presence eases the long days, and helps the ill person deal with pain and fear. They learn to really listen when the patient wants to talk, and provide conversation and simple projects to distract an invalid bored with television and too tired to read.
Andreae's skill as a writer and her warm and straightforward attitude bring the varied patients and their families to life for the reader. When Evening Comes is a book that will surprise and touch readers' hearts
