Do you like listening to people’s memories and hearing stories about their life experiences? Do you enjoy writing? Home Hospice volunteers have found that patients really appreciate having someone collect their life stories, add photos, and make them into booklets that can be shared with friends and family. Through the volunteer’s help, the patient is able to leave behind a valuable legacy for loved ones. That’s why the life story project of Home Hospice is called a Legacy program. Participants learn techniques of interviewing, editing, and revising during the training, along with information about hospice care and philosophy. The work is rewarding for the volunteers as well as patients. A three-session training workshop for volunteers who want to learn how to be Legacy volunteers will be conducted by Sherry Little, Executive Director and Dr. Jerry Lincecum, retired Austin College English Professor.
Reservations are required and enrollment is limited because of group participation. To enroll or obtain more information or arrange carpooling, call Barb Samuelson at (903) 868-9315, Kathi Kirby at 940-665-9891 or email lois.moris@homehospice.org. |
