At WCCH, our volunteers make such a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents and their families. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Kathy and Pete, whose compassion, kindness, and dedication help make WCCH such a special place.

Kathy came to WCCH looking for another meaningful volunteer opportunity after working with older adults facing the end of life. She was drawn to WCCH’s mission of helping residents and families experience this time with peace and grace.

Her favorite part of volunteering? The people! From fellow volunteers and nurses to residents and their families, Kathy says she has learned so much from everyone she meets.

A mother of four amazing children and a wife of 35 years, Kathy treasures the special moments that come with volunteering, whether it’s holding someone’s hand, listening to their story, sharing a laugh, or receiving a hug from a family member.

“It is an honor and a privilege to spend time volunteering at WCCH. I think I get back more than I give.”

After retiring from 38 years of teaching special education in Rochester, Pete wanted to find a meaningful way to give back. As a neighbor who often walked by WCCH, he decided to take the leap into volunteering — and he’s so glad he did!

Pete enjoys his morning shifts, spending time with residents, and working alongside Kathy. He especially appreciates being part of a team in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

A proud grandpa, Pete has also helped facilitate approximately 50 Marriage Encounter weekends with his wife. Through his time at WCCH, he says he has developed a new perspective on aging and the end of life.

“I am really glad I took the chance and challenged myself.”

Thank you, Kathy and Pete! Your willingness to share your time, listen to stories, offer a comforting hand, and simply be present means so much to our residents and their families. We are so grateful to have you as part of our WCCH family!

Shared from The Hospice Heart:

People often ask me, “How do you sit with someone who is dying? What do you say? How do you do this work?”

Many believe there must be special tools, the right words, some kind of wisdom you learn from books or training.

But the truth is much simpler.

This work has taught me that death is not chaos. It is a process. The body knows how to die just as surely as it knows how to be born, and each one does it in its own way.

What death and dying need most is a calm presence.

Our job is not to fix it, control it, or perform something heroic.
We are not magicians.
We don’t wear capes.

After witnessing enough final breaths, something in you begins to settle. Death stops surprising you, and because of that, you stop bringing urgency, fear, or drama into the room.

You learn to trust the body and the process it is moving through.
You learn to slow down.
To listen more than you speak.
To let the moment belong to the person who is dying and the people who are preparing to say goodbye.

You don’t rush it.
You don’t try to control it.
You simply remain present and allow it to unfold.

Because in the end, the body knows how to die. Sometimes what it needs most, is someone who is not afraid to be there when it does.

When caregiving becomes your whole world, it can be hard to remember what it feels like to simply be a family member or friend.

Caregiving is an act of love, but it can also be exhausting. The appointments, medications, meals, personal care, sleepless nights, difficult decisions, and constant worry can slowly leave a family member feeling less like a spouse, daughter, son, or loved one.

At Webster Comfort Care Home, we believe families deserve care, too.

When your loved one is with us, you don't have to carry everything on your shoulders anymore. Our team provides compassionate care and support so that you can spend your time doing what matters most, whether that means sharing stories and memories, sitting quietly together, being present for moments that matter, or holding hands.

You get to be their husband or wife, their daughter or son, their mom or dad, their sister or brother, their friend—not just their caregiver.

While we care for your loved one, we want you to feel cared for alongside them, because this journey belongs to the whole family and no one should have to walk it alone.

Our family. Caring for yours.

Grief arrives without a map.

It sits at the table, wakes you at three, and follows you into the grocery store—where no one knows you are carrying it.

People mean well. They say, “Time heals,” or “They’re in a better place.” But sometimes the loneliness grows in the space between their words and your loss.

A light does not need to be fixed. It needs someone to shelter it from the wind.

At Webster Comfort Care Home, we believe that sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer someone who is grieving is simply to stay—to listen without hurrying the dark, to make space for the tears and memories, and to be a steady presence that says: “You are not alone.”

For everyone who has experienced loss, and for everyone who is willing to sit beside someone who has, may we continue to tend the light together.

Take a few minutes and have a listen to “Too Young to Be Old” by Jax.

There’s something about the words and feeling of this song that reminds us how precious life is — how quickly time passes, and how important it is to truly live the days we are given.

End-of-life care is about so much more than the end. It’s about the moments in between: the stories, the laughter, the music, the memories, a hand held, the tears shared, and the love that remains.

When you give the song a listen, let it sit with you for a moment, and think about what it means to make every moment count.

Sometimes, after someone we love dies, we notice little things that bring them close again—a familiar song, a special scent, a butterfly, a beautiful sunset…or perhaps a cardinal appearing at just the right moment.

For many, these moments can feel comforting and deeply meaningful.

We’d love to hear from you. Have you ever experienced a moment that made you feel a loved one was with you? Maybe it was a cardinal, a dream, a song, or something only the two of you shared.

Please feel free to share your story in the comments. Your experience may bring comfort to someone else who is missing a loved one today.

It's time for a volunteer spotlight!

There are moments when simply being there for someone can mean everything, something that WCCH volunteers, Liz and Anne, understand deeply.

Liz came to WCCH after her mother had a difficult hospice experience during COVID. Seeing our sign, she decided to find a meaningful way to help. She found a place where she could care for others, meet wonderful families, and be part of something truly special.

Anne was encouraged to volunteer by Ruth, our former volunteer coordinator and a dear friend of Anne’s late aunt. With 35 years of experience as a clinical social worker, Anne brings both experience and compassion to her work here at WCCH.

Today, Liz and Anne volunteer together, serving our residents in whatever way is needed. One moment that has stayed with Anne was comforting a resident who was feeling anxious and upset. Alongside our nurse, Angela, they simply offered their presence, compassion, and care. Sometimes, that’s what matters most—being there so someone doesn’t feel alone.

Liz loves “meeting wonderful families and caring for people in need,” while Anne says she looks forward to being at WCCH, surrounded by people who are “very generous, kind, and loving.”

We are so grateful to Liz and Anne for giving their time, compassion, and hearts to our Home. Thank you for being here!

What can the way we mourned in the past teach us about how we care for one another today?

Webster Public Library is presenting Death Becomes Her: Periods of Mourning in the 19th Century, an intriguing look at the customs and traditions surrounding death and mourning in 19th-century America.

During that time, death was often a much more visible part of everyday life. People frequently died at home, families participated directly in caregiving, and mourning was marked by rituals, clothing, keepsakes, and other traditions. Death wasn’t necessarily something tucked away from everyday life—it was something communities experienced together.

Today, much has changed. But some of our deepest needs have not. We still need comfort, connection, ritual, time to say goodbye, and places where people can be cared for with dignity at the end of life.

That is part of what makes Webster Comfort Care Home so meaningful. We provide a home-like setting where individuals and families can experience the end of life surrounded by compassion, familiar comforts, and a caring community.

Perhaps the customs have changed, but our need to honor a life, care for one another, and make space for grief and remembrance remains.
