I’m happy that my posts on setting up a life stories program have been of some value to you. It’s wonderful that you’re going to be one of the people establishing a program at the hospice in Pullman. Please keep my abreast of your work.

I have been a hospice volunteer for several years and recently started a business with recording life stories and now have the opportunity to combine these two areas. The hospice in my town (Pullman, WA) would like to offer this program for hospice patients & I am going to be one of the people to get it off the ground. Your information is very helpful as we do this! Thanks so much, Ronda McLean

I am a volunteer at Hospice of Sacred Heart in Eugene, OR. I do Hospice patient life reviews through video and audio depending on the patient’s comfort level. I also train new hospice volunteers in basic videography and editing. I truly thank you for your page and have shared it to many people.

Here is a link to an interview about my path as a volunteer for hospice. The intention was to inform the community about the many good things Hospice does. http://klcc.org/audio/SAM%20RODERICK%20INTERVIEW.mp3

Our current services (free of charge) are:

Pet Peace of Mind – Volunteers take the pets of hospice patients to the vet or groomers
Peace You Leave – Life Reviews, Audio messages to loved ones, Video messages to loved ones, Letter writing and many more
Compassionate Strings – Thanatologists sit by a patient who is dying and play harp or cello
No One Dies Alone

Please do keep in touch.

Best wishes with the program. I think it is a great idea, but agree it must be approached with great care and preparation!
