Saying Goodbye
This session is for FVVH volunteers only. One of the most difficult things our volunteers do is end their relationship with a client or patient. Whether you are a bereavement volunteer reaching the end of a case, or a patient care volunteer experiencing the death or discharge of a patient, you might wonder how to process the sense of loss and grief you may be feeling. Come share your ideas and receive support. Led by Elise C. Wall.
