Met a man who was in the Battle of the Bulge, and a woman who's son boxed with Joe Frazer. Volunteering for hospice, especially at the end, puts you on holy ground. It is a great thing to do for those who can be there for the patient, yet maintain an emotional boundary. My boundary collapsed after the death of my parents, so I had to stop. Hopefully, one day, I can go back. It's a grace from God to be able to be with the dying, anon. God Bless you!
