hospice house in Sopot them. St. Joseph in Sopot |
we also developed an interest in the idea of \u200b\u200bhospice work. In order to do so we went to the hospice house. St. Joseph in Sopot on Friday, April 1, 2011. At the entry we were greeted by the director of this institution. He showed us a remarkable film about a sick day, which was held recently. In an interesting way presented the activities and home hospice is, how it operates. He talked about his own work and how important it is here smile and a quiet, joyous approach to other person. We also talked with the lady who works as a volunteer and talked about that really, these people give us more than what we can give them.
"Thanks to them we appreciate what we have around and I must say that we can learn a lot from them. These people can joke about himself, quickly making up with impending death, causing us some surprise. "

Atmosphere, that prevails in the House Hospicyjnym can not describe. You have to go there and experience it. When you enter this site you can easily see that this is not a "hospital of people dying," as often referred to hospices. Around a lot of growing trees, Christmas trees are also benches and a rock in the middle and the figure of Our Lady. The interior is even better. Anyone who resides there, has his own room, in which he has needed all his things, bed and separate toilet. On the door of each room is a little stuck on a card with the name.

As the director said: "This does not matter who is who: is an architect and professor. Here are just a lady Alice, Mr. Januar. Here is a man. "
At lunchtime (that is, about an hour of the thirteenth), there rises an unusual smell, as well as we experience it. Inside, there are large windows that overlook the patio, where you can sit For example, at the fountain. There is also a statue of St. Joseph, patron of the House hospice.
We would there-as Caritas-run school, but unfortunately we have to wait another two years. This involves not only the majority, but also a sense of responsibility and affection for those people who will leave sooner or later.
asked so, what form of assistance can be done by working at Home Hospicyjnym. The Director told us that there are many possibilities. Each certainly useful:
- cleaning
- feeding the sick, feeding them meals
- zajmowanie się ogrodem (dla kogoś kto się tym oczywiście interesuje)
- a także zwykła pomoc w codziennych potrzebach, chęć porozmawiania z tymi ludźmi.

Może się wydawać, że praca w Domu Hospicyjnym nie jest ciekawa. Ale ktokolwiek tak myśli powinien na własne oczy zobaczyć tych ludzi, tę ich radość, która towarzysz im na każdym- czasem już ostatnim-kroku. Są to chorzy, ale szczęśliwi ludzie. Some of them are fully active, talking with volunteers and normally laugh. Perform the work, which then can be purchased, such as various types of angels and images. It really is a wonderful place where you can find peace and a smile on my face many a man.
