A death doula helps the dying fulfill their wishes.

-Patient and family advocate; getting a life altering diagnosis is stressful enough, an advocate is needed in order to ask the questions and take notes so that it can be reprocessed in a warmer environment.

A death doula helps the family in the form of respite care and other services.

Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it’s there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It’s a wave.

And then it crashes in the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it’s one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it’s supposed to be.

-The Good Place

Death leaves a heartache no can heal. love leaves sweet memories no one can steal.
