What's a Death Doula?

A Death Doula, end of life doula or death midwife, is a person who assists in the dying process, much like a midwife or doula does with the birthing process. It is often a community based role, aiming to help families cope with death, recognizing it as a natural and important part of life.

The term is relatively new, but the role is not. Throughout time and across cultures there have been people whose mission it is to guide and aid the dying.

Death Doulas offer emotional, practical, and/or spiritual support and planning. We use our unique perspectives, gifts and talents to help people get through the hardest days in their lives with grace and peace. We are the perfect compliment to hospice.

What is a "Good Death"?

A Good Death is a concept that varies based on cultural, personal, and medical perspectives, but it generally refers to a death that aligns with an individual’s wishes, values, and dignity while minimizing suffering.

Key elements of a good death should include:

  • Pain and symptom management – Ensuring physical comfort
  • Autonomy and dignity – Respecting the individual’s choices about their care
  • Emotional/psychological well-being – Feeling at peace and having closure
  • Social connection – Being surrounded by loved ones or caregivers
  • Spiritual and existential peace – Aligning with personal or religious beliefs
  • Preparation – Having affairs in order, including advance directives
  • Acceptance – A sense of completion or making peace with death

When support, education, and direction in one or more of these areas, you need a Death Doula.
