The lonely Americans paying $3,000 for 'death doulas' to hold their hand while they die
DailyMail; by Alexa Lardieri; 6/1/24
When it became clear that 88 year-old John Binder was dying, his daughter started making preparations to quit her job and travel nearly 1,000 miles across the country to take care of her elderly dad. The retired mechanic, who suffered kidney failure as a result of diabetes, couldn't be looked after by his wife, as she was also elderly and had recently undergone cancer treatment, and he refused to go to a hospice center. But then, a church leader recommended the family contact a death doula.
