What is a Death Doula?

An end-of-life doula is a trained companion whose only focus is to provide meaning thorough support and education for a client and their family at the changing stages of their end-of-life transition.

Doulas are nonmedical, but *Kairos supports the medical plans already in place, including partnering with Hospice to provide support in daily tasks such as appointments, communication, fulfullment of farewelling desires, etc.

We assist in making an end-of-life plan including the completion of state advanced directives. We facilitate family meetings and assist in discussing the client’s wishes, including available options and planning for an end-of-life celebration or funeral.
