Stay Informed About the Launch
An end-of-life doula, also called a death doula, provides nonmedical support before, during, and after a death. Depending on their training and services, doulas may offer companionship, caregiver support, help with personal wishes, legacy projects, vigil planning, and educational resources.
Doula support may complement hospice, healthcare, spiritual care, counseling, and funeral services while remaining separate from the responsibilities of those professionals.
