Diary of a Death Doula

25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the Afterlife

By: Debra Diamond PhD

Narrated by: Kim Niemi

Sooner or later, everyone eventually asks questions about end of life. What happens to me when my physical body dies? Is there an afterlife? If so, where do I go? Do my loved ones meet me? Will they usher me to the next plane of existence?

In Diary of a Death Doula, psychic medium and near-death experience researcher Debra Diamond presents the story of life as a hospice "Death Doula," revealing 25 critical life lessons from those at the threshold of the afterlife, and those who have already crossed over, ultimately revealing a new way of understanding death.

Thw willingness to be open about life and death

It gives just a basic look at end of the journey that death doulas face daily.

Thoughtful and Respectful Perspective

The author shows how much she respects the dying and beyond process with her writing.
Her experience as revealed here has given me much to ponder.
Isn’t that the purpose of a good book?

not too much

a little too simple for my taste, lacked some depth, topics could have been expanded upon.

Lovely and Important

I listened twice through as there is so much to learn. I completely enjoyed Debra’s gift of sight, she explains the topic of death in a way nobody has.

View from another Death Doula

I really enjoyed this read as another Death Doula who also volunteers with hospice. The wonder of death and transition is beautifully articulated. The additional information by a Medium’s interpretation adds to the richness of this sacred experience. The only thing I did not enjoy was the voice used to share information from “the other side.”
I recommend this for anyone interested in the work of a Death Doula, and for those curious about the spiritual transition we will make at our own end of life.

Insightful and wonderful stories

This is exactly what I was looking for as I start my own doula/mediumship practice. Wonderful variety of stories and dialogues with the other side. Thank you for sharing!

Life and death are a continuous cycle

This author explains her work, and teaches us about life and death, in a very simple and compassionate way.

Different outlook on life

As a skeptical believer, this book pushed me 20 steps towards a full believer and possible looking in to volunteering as a death doula. Absolutely loved it!
