Death strips away all of the superficial and mundane details of
living and leaves behind life's bare essentials. Death is
inevitable in life. It knows no boundaries. It knows no skin color,
no financial or social standing. It knows nothing but itself. The
paradox of Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer is in
its warm affirmation of life through the 'dying declarations' of
patients who are peering into the cold face of death. The author
reveals personal experiences about life, death, and the courage to
strip away the unimportant aspects of life to make way for a
clearer understanding on just what is truly important. Simple,
moving stories invigorate and spark insightswhile discussing all
aspects of hospice volunteering. By facing death on a regular
basis, one can no longer maintain a tight grip on the masks, games,
and trivialities that one uses to hide from truth. The person who
looks death in the eye becomes more honest, grateful,
compassionate, and humble. In Dying Declarations: Notes from a
Hospice Volunteer, the author shares his experiences and the
lessons he learned from the dying while working as a hospice
volunteer. The stories, rather than being sad and depressing,
present the author's hospice experience as being some of the most
personally uplifting and enriching experiences of his life. In
Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer you will learn:
about training for hospice work why hospice volunteers are at times
more beneficial to the well-being of dying patients than family,
clergy, or medical personnel the three basic tasks for a hospice
volunteer how children and dogs can be beneficial for patients the
impact that a dying patient can have on the life of a hospice
volunteer words of wisdom about living life, directly from hospice
patients Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer will
