End-of-Life Doula Definition
Who are end-of-life doulas?
End-of-life doulas provide non-medical, holistic support and comfort to the dying person and their family, which may include education and guidance as well as emotional, spiritual or practical care, from as early as initial diagnosis through bereavement.

"In creating NEDA, Merilynne and Deanna do us all a great service:  the lines of communication have been opened wide, allowing us as Doulas to lend our compassionate support to each other, as well as to those who journey through death.  NEDA provides us with a marvelous opportunity to connect, co-create, and educate!" - Lisa Patterson (Coordinator, St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital | Pain & Palliative Supportive Care Services and End-of-Life Doula)

"There are many ways to serve the dying. NEDA allows me to find my place and be part of an important movement. I love to help where I can and learn from others.” - Joseph Knight (NEDA Board of Directors)
