End of Life Doula Benefits
The optimal time to have that sensitive conversation about the end of life is before a health crisis occurs
What is an End of Life Doula?
An end-of-life doula is a trained professional who provides non-medical support and additional support to individuals, their families, and to the hospice team during the last phase of a person’s life. These lovely individuals offer emotional, physical, and spiritual support to a dying person and their loved ones.
End-of-life doulas are also referred to as a “death doula,” “death midwife,” or an “end-of-life coach.” These professionals create a peaceful and comfortable environment, usually for palliative or hospice clients, while providing guidance and education to assist individuals and their family members in making informed decisions about end-of-life care.
How Doulas Can Help
During a period of great emotional stress, the less you and your family need to focus on making critical decisions, the more you can fully focus on caring for a loved one according to the individual’s wishes. Developing and sharing an end-of-life plan in advance helps families avoid conflict about how to handle details and brings greater peace of mind for all during the final days.
Other ways that a doula can help during this delicate time is through providing bereavement support, assisting with legacy projects, memorial/burial planning, respite care, companionship support, assist with physical and practical care to ease the burden on caregivers, advanced care planning, non-medical and hands on care and comfort techniques such as comfort touch and guided imagery.
