The death positive movement is about embracing death and dying, talking about death and not ignoring it, respecting people’s wishes at the end of life, not viewing the dead body as “dangerous” or untouchable, and the belief that by personally being open about death and choices at the end of life, every individual can change the overall culture and attitude towards death. End-of-Life doulas and death midwives are a huge part of the death positive movement. They aren’t just talking about what it means to have a “good death”—but helping people have one. When you as an individual become an end-of-life doula, you take a vital step towards changing the world’s attitudes around death and dying.
