Dear Don-- your wish to be a hospice volunteer just proves again what we already know--that your heart is veery large and in the right place! ;-) But I have to agree with your neuro, because I know from friends who have been hospice workers and volunteeers that it IS a very stressful situation, even though rewarding. Stress is not really what you need right now! You are a big help to folks here, and in your community, in other ways, so please try to accept that decision--but keep on dancing! they asked for volunteeres to help them. so famly you decide if i am >doing the rght thing.
