end-of-life doulas

End-of-life doulas are trained professionals who provide support to individuals and their families during the final stages of life. They focus on emotional and practical assistance, helping to ensure a peaceful and dignified experience. Unlike medical staff, doulas do not provide clinical care but offer companionship, advocacy, and guidance in managing end-of-life decisions. They help facilitate conversations about wishes, assist with planning, and provide comfort through presence and supportive practices. Their goal is to honor the individual's values and preferences, fostering a compassionate atmosphere during a challenging time.
