Cliff Donnelly 0 202

Several times each month, a “No One Dies Alone” (NODA) alert reaches approximately 35 compassionate volunteers across the Pikes Peak region. Typically initiated by a perceptive nurse who recognizes that a patient will soon die without family or friends present, the alert prompts contact with the hospital chaplain and sets in motion a coordinated vigil. Led by a NODA coordinator, this vigil attempts a continuous volunteer presence, offering a caring human connection as a life transitions.

I found a frame for [her holy card] . . . and for many decades, it sat on my desk in Whitehall, to the amusement or consternation of my colleagues. I had the private enjoyment of knowing, alone among all who labour within the Foreign Office, that St. Dympha is the patroness of those afflicted with nervous disorders. In my profession I will accept all available assistance (Excerpted from “Enter the Lion: A Posthumous Memoir of Mycroft Holmes,” Hawthorn Books, 1979).
