What is vigil planning?
As a Death Doula I talk about vigil plans often, so what are they? Let’s talk. A vigil plan is simply your wishes for what the space around you feels like when you’re dying. They can be as simple or detailed as you want. They can (and should) change over time as you grow, learn and evolve. They can-and most definitely should-be talked about, not just with loved ones but with everyone. Hell, I talk about mine with strangers at the grocery store.
