SUMMER 2015 - C entral C oast Dying happens on the last day; every other day is about living.
Who Guides Hospice
Volunteers?
An Interview with Steven Willey, Hospice
Volunteer Manager
By Carla Friedman, Volunteer
S
teven Willey
began his hospice
career in 1995 as
a volunteer and
home health aide
for San Luis
Obispo County
Home Health and
Hospice. In 1997,
he became Volunteer Coordinator for Hospice of
San Luis Obispo
County, where he
remained until
joining Wilshire
Hospice in 2011. Steve has degrees in both
psychology and social sciences and completed
the “Sacred Art of Dying” course at the Sacred Art
of Living Center in Oregon. In 2001, he helped
found the Supportive Care Services Program at the
California Men’s Colony, which trains inmates to
provide compassionate end-of-life support for
fellow inmates. His role at Wilshire Hospice
includes the training, supervision and nurturing of
hospice volunteers.
Carla: What originally inspired you to work
within the field of death & dying?
Steven: I came to work accidentally, hoping it
would give me tools I needed when I was left
alone in the hospital with patients who’d passed.
I wanted to feel more skilled when interacting
with the families. One night, watching a video
about ‘Healing Touch,’ the thing that spoke
to me was seeing a nurse sitting with a dying
patient. Here was a person who was just sitting
with a dying person. She was brave enough
and compassionate enough to just sit there.
This has colored everything since I began.
Everything is about presence, first and
foremost, no matter what your role is within
the hospice team.
Carla: Death is tricky. Everyone moves
toward death differently and processes grief
in ways that are unpredictable. Sometimes
there is love and peacefulness; sometimes
anger, distancing, argument. What qualities
within yourself did you cultivate in order to
become skillful and present under difficult
circumstances?
Steven: For me, the ability to acknowledge
and let go of what I can’t change is crucial
(and very comforting). Harder, but as important, is being non-judgmental both of others
and myself…as in judging my limitations. I
work all the time at being invested in my
intentions more than in their outcomes. I
believe if the good or positive intention is
there, most of the time the outcome will be
good whether I actually see it or not.
Carla: Is hospice training standardized
throughout the industry? How did you
decide on the particular curriculum you
teach?
Steven: There are certain topics that must be
covered in all hospice trainings. How those
topics are covered and what additional topics
are presented are up to the individual hospice.
Trainings usually run 18-20 hours, but I find
that’s barely enough time to cover what we
are supposed to cover and still go deeper into

A Letter From
the
Administrator, Laurie Smith
Recently I returned to my role of
Administrator at Wilshire Hospice while serving
as Vice President of Home Health and Hospice
for Wilshire Health and Community Services. I
am thrilled to be directly
involved with the agency
once again and my
commitment to Wilshire
Hospice patients and
families has never been
stronger.
I am also committed to
bringing awareness to the
local community about
hospice care and the
benefits of receiving services
as soon as possible, after a
patient has received a terminal diagnosis. Traditionally, hospice has been underused, or used
in the very last days or weeks of life, because
it symbolized a “death sentence.” On the contrary! Our Wilshire Hospice team knows that
every day is about living; only the last day is
about dying.
Our commitment is to serve those living with
chronic or terminal illness with quality pain and
symptom relief and comprehensive emotional
support. Our staff of highly-skilled nurses,
physicians, counselors and volunteers is here to
provide comfort, dignity & choice to every
patient, every time. I am so proud of our team,
and I hear weekly, about our efforts to go above
and beyond for our patients to bring comfort in
whatever way we can.
Wilshire Hospice donors and supporters have been
so dedicated this year, ensuring these important
services are available for local patients, regardless
of ability to pay. I want to offer my sincere gratitude
for all you have done to
support Wilshire Hospice in
its mission by volunteering;
attending and sponsoring
events; making contributions
and remembering our organization in your estate
planning. We are so grateful
to call each of you friends.
We look forward to working
with you this summer and
enjoying upcoming
fundraisers such as the
Wilshire Hospice Hoedown
(8/1 at the Hearst Ranch), Light Up A Life (TBD) and
Day of the Dead Festival (11/1 in Mission Plaza).
Finally, I am very pleased to share that the Wilshire
Hospice Inpatient Unit has been serving more patients than ever, when they need it most. The unit is
staffed by our caring team 24-7. The Inpatient Unit
primarily cares for patients whose symptoms and
pain are out of control and cannot be managed at
home, or when an acute hospital stay is not needed. The unit is also available for end-of-life care, for
those patients who choose not to or are unable to
stay at home for the last few days of their life.
Thank you to our hardworking staff, volunteers,
donors and supporters for everything you do to
make these services possible. Wishing everyone a
happy and healthy summer season!

T hank You!
M y Mama was taken care of so gently
and with such dignity, and the
musicians that played for her were
beyond outstanding - along with being
excellent musicians, they have very deep
compassion, care, empathy and really
know how to talk and be with someone in
a hospice situation, like my Maw.
Being a singer herself, my mother really
enjoyed those last days listening to such
profoundly great music and receiving
the care she did from Wilshire Hospice.
I just can't say enough good things - I
love you guys for taking care of my
Maw. Thank you so very, very much!
- Julie
T he wonderful, caring people at Wilshire
Hospice made a difficult time easier for
our Dad and us, his family. They treated
Dad with the respect and dignity that he
deserved on his final journey. We can't
thank them enough.

The Center for Grief,
Education and Healing
Licensed, certified hospice programs are mandated
by Medicare to provide 13 months of
bereavement follow-up to our families; but they
provide no reimbursement for those services.
Wilshire Hospice Bereavement Services represent
5% unreimbursed expenses of our agency. Your
generous contributions enabled us to serve 395
people last year, which included survivors of
hospice patients and survivors of persons not
receiving hospice care.

more experiential work like guided imagery, role
play and group exercises. I try to offer more extended
time with the volunteers throughout the year on
topics like “Life Review” and “Reminiscence and
Legacy.” The training I offer has its roots in the
original hospice training as it was given in this
county back in the early ‘90s. I am still friends with
many of the folks who set that up. Of course I have
altered it as the years have gone by and I have added
to my own experience. That original hospice spirit is
(I hope!) still intact. In any case, I believe it’s a
better, more meaningful way to train than individually on a computer.
