What is a Death Doula from the series Death Talk

A short video from DeathTalk Learn precisely what a Death Doula is and their role in the inaugural episode of a new video series. 'A Day in the Life of a Death Doula' is part of a broader series titled 'Careers in Death Care: A Day in the Life.' Jill Schock, who runs Death Doula LA, dedicates herself full-time to supporting approximately 75 families annually.


I hope this helps you gain a better understanding.

Matthew focuses on the anointing of Jesus as a teaching episode for the disciples, who react with anger because of the woman’s wasteful extravagance. But Jesus defends her, saying, “She has done a beautiful thing to me” (Matthew 26:10). Christ explains that the anointing is to prepare His body for burial and that the woman’s act of love will forever be remembered wherever the good news is preached.

Mark tells the same story in similar terms, with an anonymous woman with an alabaster box interrupting a meal in Simon the leper’s home to anoint the head of Jesus with expensive perfume. Again, the woman’s critics describe her gift as excessive, complaining that it could have been sold for more than a year’s wages (Mark 14:5). But Jesus receives the woman’s gift as a selfless act of love and devotion—an appropriate way to honor the Messiah. Jesus reveals that He will not be with them much longer, which references His impending death and burial.

I can't think of anything more honorable.

​

All around us there are people who are hurting, people who need love, people who need encouragement. How blessed I am to sit at the feet and be that person.

​

Please note: Death doulas are non-medical and holistic practitioners, and do not facilitate death. Our primary function is to be in support of and be alongside, individuals in their final transition and release from their physical body. Regardless of your religious beliefs, race, or orientation, I want to be of service to you and your family because of my heart. I am commanded to serve and love.
