MEREDITH ― Death Doula Nancy Thurell will give a presentation at the Meredith Public Library. Attendees will discover what a death doula is, what one does, and how and when to work with one.
Thurrell is a retired Registered Nurse who completed the International End of Life Doula Association 40-hour training program in answer to a calling felt during training and experiences with dying patients throughout her career.
Thurell’s presentation will be on Tuesday, May 12, at 6 p.m.
INELDA defines as a death doula or an end-of-life doula as a non-medical companion who provides personalized and compassionate support to individuals, families, and their circles of care as they encounter and navigate death, loss and mortality. An end-of-life doula advocates self-determination and imparts psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, and practical care to empower dignity throughout the dying process.
