End-of-Life Presence & Vigil Sitting
There are times near the end of life when what is most needed is simply another person to be present.
I offer limited, short-term respite and vigil care for individuals and families navigating the final stages of life. This may include sitting with someone while family members rest, sleep, attend to other responsibilities, or simply take some time away from the bedside.
I am also available for deathbed vigil when a person is actively dying, offering a calm, grounded presence for the dying person and those gathered around them.
This work is offered in short intervals rather than as ongoing caregiving and is intended to complement—not replace—hospice, medical, or home-care services.
Pricing Structure.
I want my services to be accessible to as many individuals as possible. I use the Green Bottle* sliding scale method to help lower the barrier for those in need of my services.
