anyone do volunteer work for hospice (or work in it)?

I just requested the information packet and application to volunteer at the Hospice Program run by my local hospital. This is something I've been interested in doing since my Dad passed of cancer two years ago. But, this is the first time I've felt emotionally ready to actually do it. I must admit I am still super nervous about it and whether I will get really upset around people who are terminal. So, if you work or volunteer with hospice, what should I expect? Do you have a hard time with getting attached to patients and then being really upset when they pass?

Thanks in advance for any insights you have!
