GENERAL VOLUNTEER

“The most important assistance is “loving presence” at the bedside of the dying person… this caring attention gives confidence and Hope to the patient and makes him feel reconciled to death. This is the unique contribution which doctors and nurses(any human), by there being human and Christian – more than by their expertise – can and should make to the dying person, so that rejection becomes acceptance, and anguish gives way to hope.”
