As the first Christian to develop a curriculum for training death doulas, I want the opportunity to offer need-based scholarships for those who come my way with the call service on their hearts. The role of an end of life doula is specifically designed to assist the patient and the family with understanding the natural process of death (before, during, and after) while providing suggestions for comfort and support as well as advocating for autonomy in the choices of the client and encouraging the best communication possible between family, caregivers, and professionals working in the direct care of the patient. Mainstream death doula training programs instruct death care and community service without the hope of Christ and resurrection. The void is filled with new age and/or political influences. My program is sought after by Christians exploring the field of doula training and work because of its commitment to the good news of Jesus Christ. Some of these inquiries come with stories of loss and hardship, making additional expenses for education limited. In the first year, two South African trainees have joined the program! Exchange rates make it difficult for them to pay for the training. Donations will enable me to provide training to everyone who is called to this important work. My program provides instruction for viable individual business development opening doors for a career in non-medical support to patients and families at the end of life.
