Today is about honoring the dead, but one profession does that year round. ⁠ ⁠ Meet vanessacarlisle, a writer and death doula. Similar to how a birth doula will help expecting parents give birth and welcome their child into the world, a death doula helps prepare someone to leave.⁠ ⁠ "A death doula is a person who helps support the dying or their loved ones through the end of life," Vanessa explains.⁠ ⁠ Tap the #linkinbio or visit nbcphiladelphia.com/dyingtoknow to watch the latest episode of our docuseries “Dying to Know,” which highlights the often overlooked funeral and death care industry. 🥀 🕯️⁠ ⁠ #diadelosmuertos #dayofthedead #doula
