Death, Dying, Grief & Care, Reimagined
A thoughtful, death-positive space for the conversations that shape how we live, die, grieve, and care
Death Doula Magazine brings together lived experience, professional insight, practical guidance, and honest conversation for death doulas, caregivers, hospice and palliative-care communities, grieving people, and anyone curious about mortality and end-of-life care.
Stories for the work of living, dying, grieving, and caring.
A magazine for people willing to talk about what matters.
Death Doula Magazine is a digital publication devoted to thoughtful, accessible conversations about death, dying, grief, bereavement, caregiving, hospice, end-of-life care, and the growing work of death doulas.
We make room for complexity without losing warmth, curiosity, or humanity, bringing together voices from doulas, caregivers, hospice communities, and others living close to death and loss.
We welcome essays, practical wisdom, doula stories, rituals, interviews, and partnership ideas that deepen the conversation around death and care.

“The Future I Grieved as a Child”
DEAD Talks host and author David Ferrugio joins Death Doula Magazine for a candid conversation about growing up with loss, how grief changes over time, humor, memory, and making room for the life that continues alongside it.
A grounded look at bereavement and the practical, emotional, and ordinary demands of carrying on after loss.
A gentle companion for the early days and weeks after a death, with practical guidance for what comes next.
Two reflective pieces exploring memory, change, release, and the ways grief continues to shape the living.
Autumn Issue 3 arrives September 22.
