The History of Death Doulas Part II: The hospice movement

The hospice movement has had a global impact, with organizations and hospice services established in many countries. However, access to hospice and palliative care remains uneven across different regions due to healthcare disparities and varying cultural attitudes towards death and dying.

Death doulas operate within these diverse cultural contexts quite well. We adapt our services to meet the unique needs and preferences of our clients and their inner circles. This cultural sensitivity contributes to the evolution of our role and its acceptance in various communities, especially the marginalized.
