Volunteering with PCSBV cont'd.
It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand by Megan Devine.
Volunteers often meet with their clients on a weekly basis, walking, sharing conversation over coffee, laughing together, sharing tears together. Some of our clients are referred months or years prior to actively dying. Some only weeks or days. Some are referred for grief support after a loss.

Brené Brown on Empathy
In this short clip, Brene Brown talks about the difference between sympathy and empathy and making connections.
Our volunteers are trained to go where angels fear to tread, to bear witness to hard stories, and to care for themselves in a way that nurtures their whole being. For this PCSBV is deeply grateful. Without our volunteers we cannot do our work.
Please contact us if you would like more volunteer program information.
