As part of a group of caring individuals who have taken trainings to become an "E-OLD" or  End of Life Doula (a support person in terms of information and care, not as a medical, legal or social service professional), we share many ideas.

One that is coming up is about 'what to call ourselves' in terms of what people can readily understand, consider and accept to help us connect with them in a caring, non-medical, non-legal yet professional manner. Some may feel 'all of this information' is online or easy enough to find with help from a librarian, a doctor or senior center or attorney.

I spent some time lying on the lawn at dusk looking up at the sky in Central Park in New York City after taking the www.Doulagivers.com Consultant Training to be a non-medical consultant. about End of Life matters.

The information regarding End of Life decisions and paperwork, policies for medical people or responders can vary state to state as to what is required.
