What is a Death Doula?
Just as you would hire a birth doula for a birth, a death doula or death midwife, is someone, usually a registered nurse, who helps give support to those who are facing death along with their families. The idea of having a death doula help during the last stages of sickness is becoming more common as a source of comfort and emotional support to the individual dying and their family.
