One of our team nurses shared that her only training on caring for the dying involved a lecture from a funeral home manager. There is insufficient training and poor understanding of our services among healthcare professionals, administrators, and the public.

Would a Dr Kervorkian wannabe qualify as a death doula?

How much training should these "Angel's of Death" have? A community College degree?

And what sort of people would be attracted to a career like this? Goth teenage girls? Sadistic teenage boys who are going to get a tattoo for each legal kill?

There was just a story on this that Canyon Courier shared less than 6 months ago. It was the first time I'd heard the term and it sounded like a wonderful version of hospice care.

Death doulas: Normalizing discussions of death and dying

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

The position will attract people who can understand these verbal gymnastics:

"We study how foundational characteristics of interpersonal dynamics, meaning-making and human connection observably manifest in conversations textured with the existential experience of serious illness, caregiving or grief. We seek to develop valid, reliable, and socially just methods to inform the epidemiology of these phenomena in large, diverse samples of people and contexts."

By "small things", I doubt she meant killing people... that seems like a big thing to me.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

“During the vigil, the doulas stayed with us continuously, and used my mom’s guided visualization and music to help her stay calm and let go more easily. They supported me emotionally, eased my anxiety, and guided me through the entire process. When I look back now, I think of the doulas as angels who transformed my mom’s dying into an experience of deep meaning that I will carry through my grief and for the rest of my life.” SMALL THINGS WITH GREAT LOVE.
