Hello! My name is Sarah. I became a volunteer at Chilliwack Hospice Society in 2016. I wanted to learn more about the dying process, how I could play a role in improving the experience for individuals and families, and the ways in which we could better support one another through grief and loss.
I have had the privilege to volunteer with Cascade Hospice Residence, Children’s Grief Groups, One-on-One bereavement support, fundraising, community education, as well as the Vigil Outreach Team. My favourite area of service is through the Horse Whisperer Grief Camps. The day is packed with activities, and we have so much fun. Most importantly, as we come together in community, kids realize that they are not alone in their grief and loss. It’s one of the most special days of the year.
Volunteering is about showing up for one another within our unique skill sets and strengths. I invest in Chilliwack Hospice Society because I know that our community needs greater support and services in these areas of life.
