International End of Life Doula Association is Making Dying Better

The International End of Life Doula Association believes everyone deserves compassionate, respectful care at the end of life. Executive Director Doug Simpson is working with the INELDA team to make that happen. Doug’s journey to EOL doula work began with the death of his own father, followed by the birth of his son. Drawn to end of life work, Doug trained as a doula in 2018 and became an INELDA volunteer in 2019. He moved into the Executive Director position in 2022, and has never lost sight of the personal experiences that have guided his work. Reflecting back, Doug realizes the similarities between birth and death, and the deeply spiritual experiences of both these life events. He works with INELDA now to ensure that everyone has access to end of life care, resources to make that death an enriched experience, and education to promote growth and acceptance of the work of end of life doulas.
