Doula Bedside Vigil Support

Daily visits, in one or multiple shifts depending on the individual needs, during *active dying and through death.

*Active dying = long pauses in breathing/irregular breathing, lower blood pressure, skin begins mottling/extremities may feel cold, may be in a coma, semi-coma, incontinence and/or discoloration of urine, hallucinations/delirium/agitation, fluid in the lungs. None of this is painful to the dying person. This is how the body transitions from life to death.
