End-of-Life Doulas

Suzanne K Powell. Prof Case Manag. 2022 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Death doulas are people who help people at the end of life with dying, just like birth doulas help at the beginning of life. Views of traditions surrounding death, such as funerals and other ways to memorialize loved ones, are shifting. Death doula associations are seeing an increased interest from people who are seeking death doulas and those who wish to become death doulas.
