The needs and desires of dying patients and their loved ones differ so volunteers will try to tailor their approach to fit each family's unique wants and needs. Vigil volunteers receive special training and are part of a team that works in shifts to be there for the patient when doctors or other caregivers have determined that death is imminent, usually within 24 or 48 hours. |
