I've been considering becoming an end-of-life consultant, aka #deathDoula. Does anyone have any experience or commentary on this profession and how it has helped families? I'd also like to hear about any negative experiences people have had. #dying
@lloyd Re: #DeathDoula - I think this is an excellent idea. I'm certified as a hospice volunteer through a fine local hospital. Seems like many of the families I volunteered for could have used those services. Hospice is patient driven, the doula would serve the needs of the family, right?
@SecondStix Yes, a doula can serve the family's needs in a consulting capacity and also be a confidant of sorts to the ill person.
