Become a Steady Heart in Someone's Storm -- Bereavement Volunteer Needed

Some grief begins before the last breath is taken. Other times, it floods in after the casseroles stop coming. We are looking for someone to sit quietly with that grief-not to fix it, but to honor it.

Agave Hospice is seeking deeply compassionate Bereavement Volunteers who understand the healing power of presence. You don’t need counseling credentials. You just need a kind voice, good ears, and a steady heart.

What You’ll Do:

• Make gentle follow-up phone calls to grieving family members (at 1, 3, 6, or 12 months post-loss)
• Write or send hand-addressed cards and letters on anniversaries and holidays
• Support our team with mailings, memorial events, or grief group setup
• Offer grounded emotional presence and compassion without cliché

Where & When:

• Mostly remote (calls + cards) - occasional event support if you like
• Flexible hours: as little as 1-2 hours/week makes a big impact
• Great for students, retirees, or those with a heart for quiet service

This Role is For You If:

• You believe grief should be witnessed, not rushed
• You are reliable and consistent - we count on you to follow through
• You don’t mind some silence on the phone, or a tear or two
• You have personal experience with loss and want to help others feel less alone

Why This Matters:

Every year, our bereavement program supports dozens of families long after hospice services end. We don't disappear after the funeral-and neither do our volunteers.

If you've ever wanted to make a real difference, one quiet phone call at a time, this is your invitation.

Apply today and help someone feel remembered, even after the world has moved on.
