Typically, during a vigil, I will work in 2-3 hour shifts one or more times a day, until the dying person gets close to the end. Then I will spend a larger block of time, perhaps 5-8 hours—possibly more—to provide presence through the death and into the time immediately afterwards when people are dealing with intense emotions.
Other Services:
Bedside Bagpipes:
The haunting sound of the small bagpipe is quieter and less invasive than that of the Great Highland pipes (typically in a high pitched B) Small pipes are tuned in the key of D. I will come play quietly for you or a loved one in their home. Tunes can range from Mist Covered Mountains, to self composed pieces. Currently I can not offer this at hospitals or other similar facilities.
