The Amazing Work of an End of Life Doula

The Heart of Hospice Podcast

This trio of End of Life Doulas is educating the public and other doulas about EOL doula work, and how they support people as they die. Diane Button, Gabby Jimenez, and Angela Shook are sharing their wisdom along with practical guidance for doula work. With heart, compassion, and respect for the intensity of death, the three EOL doulas discussed the unknowns about doulas. They openly acknowledge the difficulties doulas face when starting their practice, and the public’s lack of awareness about doula work.

Diane, Gabby, and Angela have collaborated to write The Doula Tool Kit: The Complete Practical Guide for End-of-Life Doulas & Caregivers. It’s the quintessential guide to the services of EOL (or death) doulas, providing tips and templates for new doulas to jump-start their doula practice. Caregivers, nurses, and other hospice workers can benefit from the book as well. Anyone working with someone with a serious illness or their caregivers should know the work of End of Life Doulas.
