Vigil and Contact Sheet

For the next stretch of coverage. Share it with the supporters on the roster. Record only hours people have agreed to.

Module 9

Example: Completed Example: Vigil and Contact Sheet

Fictional example. Mara supports her partner, Ellis, at home with hospice.

Clinical team; location of day/night numbers and expected-death instructions; person checking backup contact plan
Ellis's hospice team. Day/night numbers and the team's instructions sit beside the lamp; both supporters saved the numbers. Mara will confirm the unanswered-call plan with the team.
Confirmed turns: date/time, supporter, contact method, handoff time
Tuesday: Mara, 4–7 p.m.; Jo, 7–10 p.m. Reach both by mobile text. Handoff at 7; overnight coverage remains unconfirmed.
Rest time, backup supporter/contact method, and unconfirmed gaps
Mara rests 7–9 while Jo covers her agreed turn. Backup Ben accepts mobile calls until 10. Mara and Jo will confirm overnight coverage before Jo's turn ends; Ben has not agreed to cover overnight.
Family update contact, recipients, sharing limits, next update time
Pat sends one group message at 8 to Ellis's approved list. No photographs. Mara refers repeated update requests to Pat.
Handoff: expressed preferences, pending calls, practical items
Ellis requested no television. Jo needs the charger from the kitchen. Mara still needs to return the team's call; Jo knows it remains pending.
