Vigil Planning & Support
Honoring your beloved through sacred ritual and ceremony is a beautiful way to say goodbye. Let me assist you in planning and conducting a vigil that celebrates their life and legacy in a meaningful way.
In Preparation for Active Dying:
I provide assistance in planning for, and honoring the (non-medical) physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the dying during their final days.
Through compassionate inquiry, I help the dying define what constitutes a "good death" so that we may co-create a comfortable and calming environment, filled with what is most important to them.
Together, we select preferred music, scents, attire, products, and other meaningful items to curate a nurturing multi-sensory environment, ensuring the dying person feels profoundly acknowledged, loved, and cherished."
During Active Dying, I offer:
Guidance and support to the dying and their circle of care to ensure the vigil plan is carried out, as intended.
Collaboration with primary care providers and other service providers of choice, including Funeral Directors, Home Funeral Celebrants, and others, as needed, to ensure a peaceful transition, honoring the dying's wishes for end-of-life celebration and body disposition.
Continued support to the circle of care, for as long as needed.
During vigil planning, if aspects of funeral or memorial celebrations have not been arranged, I will assist in finalizing these arrangements in alignment with the values and wishes of the dying, and their circle of care.
My aim is to bestow a sense of dignity and grace upon all those touched by this loss, creating a space of solace and reverence which honors the life and legacy of our dearly departed.
