Boulder Death Doula

What is a death doula? A death doula is a non-medical care and support provider for the dying and their circle. They are engaged by the dying or their circle. How is a death doula different from hospice? If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with less than 6 months to live, it is my first suggestion that you select and engage a hospice team that resonates with you and your circle. Hospice offers holistic care including medical, spiritual, social, and practical support. Hospice is amazing. Hospice and the care they offer does have limits (thanks Medicare!). This is where engaging a death doula can be helpful. A doula is able to be a consistent, on-call presence through the preparation, active dying, passing, and bereavement process. As a doula, if you have a non-medical request, project, or need, I will work to fill it either myself, or by finding the right person who can.
