Join us for an open and compassionate conversation with Toni Maurice-Milburn about the role of an End-of-Life (Death) Doula. Death doulas offer non-medical, holistic support to individuals and families before, during, and after the dying process, helping navigate the emotional, spiritual, and practical moments that arise at the end of life.

We’ll talk about:
• What a Death Doula is — and isn’t
• The power of being fully present at the end of life
• Honoring dignity, autonomy, and cultural traditions
• How support continues beyond physical death
• Reframing our relationship with death as a natural part of life

This support helps create a peaceful and meaningful experience, ensuring no one has to navigate the end of life alone.

Return Date Café is a quarterly event that offers a place to discuss topics surrounding death and dying in a relaxed social setting.
