Death Doulas. This is the perfect way to describe what we do.
Understanding what Death Doulas do NOT do is just as important.
Death Doulas do not:
Provide medical care
Replace clinical teams
Direct decisions
Take control
Override autonomy
Instead, they support clarity, emotional steadiness, and dignity — without imposing direction.
This is presence-based care, not authority-based care.
