I have been humbled by the experience of my volunteer visits to the homes of people in palliative care.  Although each situation is different, the conversations seem to flow easily and I found people happy to chat about a variety of topics and to tell me a bit about their life stories.  The spouses and families were also open in their communication and sometimes phoned me later to just ‘unpack’ their feelings.  Before I started visiting people I wondered if conversations would lag or if they would seem uncomfortable but the opposite has been my experience with warmth and laughter often being the lubricant of the interactions.
