Doula

The role of death doulas in end-of-life care has gained recognition as more individuals seek compassionate, holistic support during life’s final stages. Rooted in the teachings of indigenous cultures, Buddhism, and the medieval concept of a “good death,” death doulas provide emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance for both the dying and their families. In our modern world, where death is often distanced from home life, death doulas bridge the gap, offering personalized care that honors individual wishes and fosters connection. They assist with vigil planning, legacy projects, and end-of-life arrangements, working alongside healthcare professionals to enhance the dying process with dignity and peace. As the death-positive movement grows, death doulas continue to play a critical role in transforming how we view death, creating meaningful, supported transitions for individuals and their loved ones.
