Palliative Care: Support, Comfort and Relief for Chronic Illness
Ensuring No One Dies AloneWhen family isn’t close or is no longer living, volunteers bring a reassuring presence to patients at the end of lifeUnfortunately, some people have neither family nor close friends with them as they near the end of life. No One Dies Alone, an end-of-life initiative supported by Lehigh Valley Hospice and Pastoral Care, provides the reassuring presence of a volunteer companion to hospital patients who would otherwise die alone.People in their last hours of life can feel tremendous comfort and peace when someone is at their side. Just sitting quietly, perhaps reading or holding hands, helps people feel valued. The knowledge that they are not alone as they make their final journey can help them feel safe and hopeful. We believe everyone deserves this soothing presence. This page last updated 2/12/08 04:08 PM
