End-of-Life Doula
Vigil
When the dying person is in the last days of life – the time often referred to as the “vigil” or “active dying phase”, we will attend to them and those around them in ways that reflect their wishes. Our primary focus at this stage is maintaining and advocating for the spirit of a plan they had worked out beforehand during the vigil planning. We will review the choices and options available with those involved as the vigil begins. We can use sounds, readings, comfort touch, guided imagery, and ritual to deepen the sense of meaning and bring greater comfort to everyone involved. We may assist in the physical care, such as assisting in repositioning, adjusting or changing bedding, providing basic oral care, and offering general comfort care. If it is desired, 24/7 support can usually be arranged during this period.
Vigil Planning
We assist in the completion and review of Advanced Directive documents. If one is needed, we provide the 'Five Wishes' document. This document is a living will that talks about your personal, emotional, and spiritual needs as well as medical wishes.
We discuss a suitable location for final days, provide spiritual and emotional support. Comforting Transitions understands that planning for an end-of-life vigil can be difficult and emotionally overwhelming. That is why we offer comprehensive vigil planning. We discuss finding a suitable location, and providing spiritual and emotional support. We provide guidance and support every step of the way, and will make sure your vigil is a beautiful and memorable one that is desired.
