for the service you provide! I have volunteered with many Hospice organizations over the years and nothing can compare with helping others in such ways (except helping our animal friends). I know you don't get monetarily compensated anywhere near what you're worth, but anyone who does this for a living does it for love and compassion. Your personal experience brings a special insight as well.
I tried a hospital support group, but just didn't make a connection with anyone there. Out of the 15 members I was the only one with Her+ disease and the only one who had done any reading or research into BC. It was exactly what you said; a ladies club. Some of the online groups are the same. They didn't work for me, but I know they provide a safe space for many others.
