Interviews and spotlights
Conversations with practicing doulas about what works, what surprised them, and how they create presence for families.
Death Doula Magazine
Stories, rituals and reflections on end of life.
We are building a gentle space for honest conversations about dying, grief, legacy, and the everyday work of supporting people through the end of life. This magazine will serve doulas, hospice volunteers, caregivers, and families.
Our vision
Death Doula Magazine is a heart centered publication created by the International End of Life Care Association. We believe that open, compassionate dialogue about dying helps us all live more intentionally, love more fully, and serve more meaningfully. Our aim is to gather the voices of doulas, caregivers, and families who are changing the culture around death and dying.
Tools and guides
Comfort language, vigil ideas, legacy projects, reflective practices and printable support for real sessions.
Culture and trends
Green burial, pet loss support, digital memorials and global rituals that are reshaping deathcare.
Launching with topics that matter
