They convey first and foremost what "vigil" is all about. I had no idea there existed such an offering. I guess from a narrow perspective I thought about dying of an illness (if I thought about it at all) as a family affair. I thought of strangers present (if I thought about that at all) as sad, depressing, an intrusion. I am a very private person - I love solitude but reading Ms. MacPherson's poetry - well, realizing that it would not be just me who is dying but a part of the stranger who chose to be with me ........... If I were alone I would die a more peaceful death knowing that perhaps I will be remembered by the final person to be with me in a compassionate light. I suppose I might also be happy that I had an opportunity to be remembered with no history, no thorns on my body, no axe to grind. Simply a new, fresh beginning at the very, very end. If family was in the room with me it may be comforting to know there is a caring, experienced, solid yet neutral person in the room to help them through a possibly interminable very painful process. Incredible poetry.And.........as a solitary loving, frequently intolerant person who says whatever........ the thought of knowing that I would be quite capable of asking the person to leave if he/she did not provide me with solace, or worse, annoyed me, makes me feel safe in the concept of a vigil. I hope that makes sense to you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't let the word 'Poetry' deter you from reading this book *by W***K on September 26, 2019* I have never enjoyed reading poetry, but being a healthcare professional and an acquaintance of the author, I thought I would read a poem or two. Once I started, I couldn't put it down and finished the book in one day. I quickly forgot that I was reading poetry, and it was like I was sitting with the patient and experiencing what the author was feeling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Bearing witness" to the end of life for others bears fruit in this artful and reflective collection of poems *by M***Y on January 22, 2016* This collection of delicate and thoughtful poems brings home both how personal and how universal the end of life is for all of us. Compassionately written, it doesn't dwell on loss or pain, as the author has no direct relation to the dying individual, but rather contemplates life, end of life, and an appreciation for all of it. This is truly a gift from the author, drawn from her deep experience in end-of-life care. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/37354091-vigil-the-poetry-of-presence-paperback-september-1-2016](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/37354091-vigil-the-poetry-of-presence-paperback-september-1-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
