About This Free Live Webinar

Get Clarity on the Path From “I Feel Called” to Real End‑of‑Life Doula Work

Join hospice and oncology nurse Suzanne B. O’Brien, RN, founder of Doulagivers Institute and author of the international bestselling book The Good Death, for a free, live discovery webinar on what it truly means to become a professional Death Doula (end‑of‑life doula).

You’ll see what this work actually looks like day to day, who it’s really for, and the practical steps people from all kinds of backgrounds have taken to do this work confidently and ethically.You do not need a medical background. You do not need to be “good with tech.” All you need is a compassionate heart, a steady presence, and the desire to make things better for families at the end of life.

This free event is perfect for: Family caregivers & friends • Nurses and healthcare professionals • Hospice & palliative workers • Death‑positive volunteers • Retirees & late‑career professionals seeking more meaningful work • Spiritual care providers • Community leaders & faith‑community members • Anyone who keeps thinking, “This work keeps finding me… am I meant to do this?”

Why Attend the Death Doula Discovery Webinar

  • You’ve been close to death and thought, “There has to be a better way than this.”
  • You feel a quiet but constant pull toward end‑of‑life work and want to know if it’s really your path.
  • You want a clear, honest picture of what Death Doulas do – not hype, not theory.
  • You’re wondering, “Am I too old? Not qualified enough? Could I really make this a practice?”
  • You want to understand how this role fits with hospice, healthcare, and your existing skills.

At a time when families are more overwhelmed and unprepared than ever, this webinar will help you see where you might fit – as a calm, informed presence in life’s final chapter.

In This Free Training, You’ll Learn:

  • What a Death Doula Really Does

    A clear, practical look at the day‑to‑day work of non‑medical end‑of‑life doulas:

    • How they support families before, during, and after a death
    • How they work alongside hospice and medical teams
    • Real‑world examples from homes, hospitals, and senior communities

  • How to Know If You’re Meant for This Work

    The traits and patterns Suzanne sees over and over in great doulas, and a gentle reflection to help you answer:

    • “Is this truly my calling, or just an interest?”
    • “Where does this fit with the rest of my life and responsibilities right now?”

  • How to Start Making a Difference – Even Without Experience

    The first realistic steps from “I feel called” to actually supporting real people, including:

    • The early skills to focus on (hint: it’s not building a website or being a marketer)
    • Simple ways to begin, even with just a few hours a week
    • How the Doulagivers framework has helped nurses, caregivers, teachers, chaplains, and non‑medical folks become confident, ethical end‑of‑life doulas

    You’ll leave with more clarity, less confusion, and a grounded sense of whether this is the path you want to walk – and what your next step could be.
