Authentic Conversations About Death: Breaking the Taboo and Nurturing Open Conversations
Stephen Jenkinson’s journey began with a profound realization—dying individuals deserve a language that acknowledges and respects their reality. Together, we explore the importance of bridging the gap between the dying and their loved ones, medical professionals, and the wider community.
What is a death doula and why do you need one?
A Death Doula is a non-medical person trained to care for someone holistically, taking into account the whole person’s needs at the end of life. The doula helps to make sure their emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical needs are met.
Death Doulas are people who support people in the end-of-life process, much like a midwife or birth doula does with the birthing process.
Living with the end in mind.
Living with the end in mind will help to make your journey through life a meaningful one. When people are dying and look back on their life, it is easy to see how many dreams had been pushed aside and almost always because of other people’s thoughts and opinions on those dreams. When you honestly surrender to the idea that you will die, you understand that being alive at this moment is the most important thing.
11 year Death Anniversary
I found that writing was helpful for me in processing what I was going through while I was taking care of my Grandmother at the end of her life. Most of us are not prepared at all for what to expect as someone gets nearer to the end of their life. I am sharing my experience and my new perspective from what I know now as a death doula.
Why a Death Doula, why not a Birth Doula?
When I heard the term Death Doula it was one of those moments when your life changes and you feel it right away but you don’t know exactly in what way. I immediately texted a friend and told them that I heard of the most amazing career, a Death Doula, and from that moment on I have worked towards building this business and this chapter in my life where I can continue doing what I have always loved doing. Helping people live their life with a clear idea of what they want to feel. In this case, it may be for a few days, a few months, or a few years but what better gift is there than to find peace with our life?
