End-of-Life Doula: Paving the Way to a Good Death
A good death is demonstrated when we honor the end-of-life choices of the terminally ill. End-of-Life Doulas are trained to help us do just that. They are non-medical, professionally trained individuals who assist in the dying process. They help individuals, and their caregivers, cope with death by providing physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual support before, during and after the death occurs.
