It’s common to think of volunteering as giving time to a cause. The most powerful lesson of hospice is the reality that, short of organ donation, I can’t give time to anyone. What I can do is share time. +++ In most of our roles, we can be swapped out. Absent someone to love, this can be a lonely reality. Family roles, particularly parenting children, is an area where it’s more difficult to replace us. Interestingly, these are roles where love dominates. Kids can survive just about anything if they are supported by the knowledge that they are loved.
