Volunteer and hospice services in Eastern Switzerland
Formal volunteering is a mainstay of palliative care. Formal, institutionalized or organized volunteering is defined as unpaid, honorary and voluntary work in associations and organizations. Formal volunteering therefore takes place outside the nuclear family. It offers patients and their caregivers support during their illness, the final phase of life and beyond. Formal volunteering helps to ensure that sick people are cared for in the place of their choice and relieves the burden on caregivers. It promotes intergenerational cohesion and is an example of solidarity in action in society.

Grief groups and bereavement cafés
We humans repeatedly find ourselves in life situations that push us to our limits. These are usually situations in which we are confronted with death, separation or social taboos. We react with anger and bewilderment, with grief. At such moments, our tears become our language.
