Unique position for individuals passionate about end of life care. This is a non-medical support role for persons with formal doula training or those who are interested in learning about the EOL doula mission and skills.

A death doula's work ranges from logistical planning for the time before, during and after of death; conducting rituals or comforting practices; helping the dying person reflect on their life and values; and explaining the bodily functions of dying to caregivers.

There is also opportunity for the EOL doula to provide extended support to loved ones and family following the death of the person receiving hospice care.

Please reach out to begin the conversation about how you can help people with a life-limiting illness in a tangible way through your own compassion.
