XP: The wonders of Hospice
My grandmother (who can no longer speak and is virtually bed-ridden at this point) got a visit from a Hospice volunteer yesterday. This volunteer was neither a nurse nor a health aide; she was a hairdresser. She cuts hair for those that are ill or homebound. My grandmother always has been very conscious of her appearance and her illness has been a total blow to her vanity and self-esteem. This visit, I am sure, was a total treat. My mom sent me a photo of her with her new haircut and she is smiling from ear to ear in the picture.
Needless to say, I am making a donation to the Hospice organization in honor of that smile.
Re: XP: The wonders of Hospice
Omg, that just brought me to tears. It had never even occurred to me that a hospice volunteer would be anybody that wasn't in the medical field. I could totally see how somebody unexpected like this could make someone feel wonderful with the time they have left.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother Amy.

I work in a hospital (as you know) and they also have hairdressers come in for patients that are in the hospital long term that would like a haircut or even a shave...a little gesture goes a long way.
