  • Vigil volunteers quietly join a patient and family in their last days to hours
  • Provide a calm and attentive presence
  • They exude the grace, beauty, and compassion we should all be so fortunate to be wrapped in as death approaches.
  • They bring love, acceptance, and companionship to the bedside of the dying person.
  • Typically, the volunteers have never met the individual or their loved ones. There is no previous relationship to rely upon but rather only a powerful willingness to simply hold a space of absolute love and warmth.

1 Shift
