To accompany people at the end of the life and those touched by mourning is difficult work which requires great reflection and a long experience. The association Rivage is born from a long history which the deaconesses of Reuilly began. Charities and institutions of the deaconesses of ReuillyThe Deaconesses of Reuilly are a religious community of Protestant confession within the Churches of the Reform. Created in 1841 by Caroline Malvesin and Antoine Vermeil, the Institution of the Deaconesses of Reuilly is recognized of publicly in 1860. After the law of 1901, it took the form of an association. For a better understanding of the origins that define our movement, let's look at the ethical base of this community which is in fact its force and its originality. "In a will of openess and service of all, it wants to be a place of testimony of God for each human being." It is not a place of catechism, nor of proselytism, but a place of freedom where the suffering and the exclusion of the man, can de expressed. The answers which the community can bring to this suffering are of the order of the compromise and the provisional one. They are by no means universal truths and are a function of the place and time. The institution tries always to adapt its actions to the time and to take into account the evolution of the society.

Claire DemeureIn the heart of their combat against suffering, the Deaconesses created in 1971 the private hospital of Claire Demeure. This associative private establishment, partly in the public utility hospital includes a geriatric unit of 48 beds for long term care and a unit of palliative care with 16 beds. The project of the establishment, very innovative, in France at this time, is clear: To accompany the old persons dependents and/or people at the end of life because of serious illness until death in a place of care and life. That means that to look after a person does not consist only of one purely medical answer. Within Claire Demeure, the quality of life and comfort is privileged. To deal with disease and suffering requires control of the symptoms and the intensity of the pain. It is possible then to offer to the sick person, but also to his loved ones, a space of listening and dialogue where all the sufferings can be expressed: moral, psychic, social, spiritual and religious. To a powerful medical team is "fully integrated a human team". This team is mainly made up of trained volunteers, but also of psychologists and sisters of the establishment. Claire Demeure Association RIVAGESince 1990, the teams of volunteers have been integrated directly into the teams of care. But there quickly was a need for supervising all these activities. Thus in 1999 an interdisciplinary group of research and action in voluntary help of accompaniment was created: the association Rivage (that means Shore in French). In the legal form of Association Law 1901, Rivage is member of La Société Française d'Accompagnement et de Soins Pallliatifs (the French Company of Accompaniment and Palliative Care) (SFAP). It adheres thus to the ethics of the SFAP, of which you have all the details in the heading concerned. The work achieved by Rivage enabled it to be named the 2001 Laureate of the Great Price of Associations of the Newspaper La Croix.

The association gathers members who, although different in their functions, their practices and their traditions, recognize a common sensitivity to human, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of the people in situations of suffering and/or exclusion by the illness, death, mourning, the handicap, the great age. As founder members, it appears necessary to us to
explain our research. Coming for the majority from a Judeo-Christian tradition, we wish to be open and to enrich ourselves by the presence of other people coming from and nourished by other spiritual experiences; this with the aim of bringing a more adequate response to the spiritual needs for the accompanied person, including in his religious expression and to thus allow him to fully live each moment in the respect of his convictions, his beliefs, his representations. By ourselves, we do not know everything that each person feels. Therefore we shall agree not to rely first of all on our own experience, in order to be available for better hearing of what the person or his relatives will want to express. They teach us what is important for them, what they wish or understand in their last moments. What counts for us, is that their fears, their concerns, their questions, even the tasks to be achieved, can be expressed to somebody able to take them into account, directly or by relay. To accompany requires first of all to be receptive and to accept each time a share of the unknown. We are convinced that the accompaniment of a person is a reality which must be carried by several: a team which can and must create the essential continuous environment which will help the person to live his mourning, his disease, his death, his handicap, his great age as he wishes it. By "team", we understand the various actors, regular or occasional, professional or voluntary, brought together by the same objective, in bond together, with the family and the close relatives. We know that it is important to create around the person a climate of confidence and serenity which will be the support which he'll need and the assurance that his loved ones will be surrounded and will remain helped after death. We are conscious that such an accompaniment is demanding, that it requires relaxation and sometimes interruption. We recognize the association as a place of confrontation, exchange and training, specifically in regard to the accompaniment at the end of life. The association RIVAGE adheres to principles SFAP.
