DEATH DOULA SERVICES
THE ROLE OF THE DEATH DOULA
This work is about trust...
The role of the death doula is one that is developing in modern society, but comes from an ancient time.
We support and serve. We uncover where we can best be supportive in a challenging and delicate experience of life. We also utilize deep listening, presence, and a healthy dose of “doing”; offering spiritual counseling and resources for logistical and practical needs, holding space, and informing families and loved ones of their options and acting as their advocate.
