    Description

    Volunteer: Bereavement Buddy

    If you have experienced the death of a loved one, you know that grief is a journey that no one should have to take alone. That's what our Bereavement Buddies offer-- a friend to talk to, go for a walk or a cup of coffee with, and navigate the path of grief with kind support.

    Four Seasons will provide you with the training you need to confidently provide compassion and companionship to someone who is grieving. As a Bereavement Buddy, you'll sign on for a six-month commitment to meet once a month, and check in weekly by phone or email, with your client. While you don't have to have a background in counseling or social work, it is helpful to have personal experience with loss and a willingness to learn how to support individuals who are grieving.
