An end-of-life doula (sometimes called a death doula) is a trained person who provides non-medical support to someone who is dying and to their loved ones.

Their role is to help with things like:
• Emotional and spiritual support
• Talking about wishes and fears about death
• Advance planning (legacy projects, letters, rituals, vigil planning)
• Being present during the dying process
• Supporting family members before, during, and after death

They do not provide medical care. Instead, they work alongside hospice, doctors, and caregivers to make the dying process more comfortable, meaningful, and supported.

In Gustav Klimt’s Death and Life, most figures sleep, wrapped tightly in each other and in the dream of living. But one young woman is awake - her eyes wide open, aware of Death standing nearby. She doesn’t look away. She sees. Most of us move through life asleep to the reality of death, immersed in our routines, our roles, our cultural worldview that tells us not to look too closely. As end-of-life doulas, one of our goals is to gently awaken us from that dream - to help us face mortality with honesty and awareness. Not to frighten us, but to deepen how we live. When we open our eyes to death, we begin to live more consciously. ✨ What might change if you allowed yourself to truly see? 🤍

Talking about death doesn’t have to be weird.
It can be loving. It can be practical. It can even be peaceful.

The greatest gift you can give your family is clarity and the chance to know your wishes. Start small. Stay open. Keep it human.

If you’ve been meaning to have the conversation… this is your sign.
