Looking for a Life-Affirming New Career? Become a ‘Death Doula’
“I think people are starting to come to the conclusion that we can die differently in this country,” says Janie Rakow, president of the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA), a non-profit that trains and certifies end-of-life doulas. “We don’t see death in our everyday lives anymore, and it has created real uncertainly and fear. The doulas bring so much education and comfort to the process.”
