In this episode, Pam MacPherson, the author of Vigil Poetry will share what a blessing it is to the loved one and the family to be present during the last hours of a loved ones life.

Being at the bedside of the dying is where some of my most important life
lessons have been realized. In my eyes, the dying have become my teachers. It
is a privilege, in that quiet and sacred space, to be present to and bear witness to
the important moments in the closure of the life of another. It holds the gift of
"now."

Dying is an organic and natural part of the life cycle

Being fully present to another is one of the greatest gifts one can give

Self-care is an important part of caring for others.

What does it mean to be a vigil volunteer?

When did you discover your passion for supporting quality care at the
end of life?

How has being with the dying deepened meaning in life for you?
Never underestimate the power of presence and silence.

Accepting our own mortality deepens and expands our ability to live
life more fully.
