Peggy and Gerry volunteer at Elkerliek Hospital in Helmond, where they watch over patients in their final days. They do so when patients’ neighbors need a few hours of rest, offering presence and comfort during the last stage of life.
Peggy described placing her hand on a dying woman’s forehead and wishing her a good journey. She said that a man remains a human being even when he is dying.
