Death doulas provide non-medical emotional, spiritual, and physical support to individuals who are transitioning to death, and their loved ones.
As hospice and palliative care focus on pain and symptom management for patients and their loved ones, death doulas can often help those facing the end of life achieve a better death by allowing them to live the time they have left with purpose and companionship.
The word “Doula” originates from a Greek word meaning “a woman of service,” and was later adopted by those guiding women through their birth process in a term used widely today: birth doula.
The titles “Death Doula” or “End-of-Life Doula” are the most common terms for the type of practitioner described here, but you may also hear a death doula referred to as a death midwife or an end-of-life coach.
Companionship: Listening, reading, and being a consistent presence at the bedside, offering comfort during vigils.
Education: Informing families about the dying process, options for funerals, and practical care.
