What Volunteering Can't Fix — A Story From a Shanghai Hospice
<p>In this episode, I retell a story a senior shared with me after two years volunteering at a hospice institute in Shanghai. Through her experience, I walk through what daily life looks like for patients nearing the end of life — the isolation, the small rituals of comfort, and a strange, telling fear of death that persists even among people facing it together. I also reflect on what it means to volunteer without expecting to fix or heal anything, and why simply showing up might be the most honest form of care.</p>
