Helping people prepare for death

Available for over a year

A doula is someone who helps support a mother-to-be, and prepares her for what's to come. Henry Fersko-Weiss wondered why people who are dying don't get the same kind of support. So he came up with the idea of an end-of-life doula, and now trains people in the United States and elsewhere. He's helped thousands in their last moments. His organisation is called the International End-of-Life Doula Association, and it's trained more than 2000 doulas in the last few years. Henry also wrote a book called 'Caring for the Dying'.
