My father has been in hospital for the last month and a half and I try to be as present as I can with him... though the urge is to do something to help. A lot of the time there is really nothing to do, just presence can mean a lot. Thanks for the reminder! :-)

I spoke to my volunteer coordinator about it, and she explained it to me that we were communicating on a soul to soul level. Thank you for your inspiring story. I know i will remember it when i am volunteering and "i feel like i am not doing anything". Namaste' judy

We had said all our goodbyes and i had told him all the loving things i wanted to say to him, and in the end, he said talking was tiring, but my being there with him, was comforting. There is far more value in just our "being there" for others than we realize. Blessings on you, mutoman, for staying the course with your hospice patient, even though you felt at one point that you should be "doing something. " you probably did more than you will ever know for him.
