Endless Journey Hospice

Sit Beside Me Volunteers specialize in sitting at the bedside with a patient who is in their last few hours-days of life. These volunteers are trained on what to expect in the final moments and how to provide a calm and caring presence and environment. Volunteers report this type of experience is an incredibly impactful one in their own personal and spiritual journeys. Introverts enjoy this volunteering, as it is not a time for much chatting, but a time of silence, reading scripture or poetry, playing gentle recorded music, or sitting by the bedside. Shifts are available from morning through as late as midnight, so it is great for all sorts of schedules. Sit Beside Me Volunteers agree to be contacted when there is a need and then sign up for shifts as they have availability at the time. If you are interested, please contact Kelly Keller, Volunteer Coordinator by calling (402)800-8145 or email kkeller@endlessjourneyhospice.com

Note: Sit Beside Me Visits can take place virtually anytime Sunday-Saturday, 9 AM to 11 PM. We can work with all schedules and availability!
