Midwives for the dying

Rosamond in The One I Was regards herself as 'a midwife for the dying'. Interesting to read this Guardian article about death doulas, people who walk beside those in the last stages of terminal illnesses. Some Marie Curie and Macmillan nurses I have met/heard of certainly seem to act as gentle guides through the last weeks of life. We all deserve to be gently eased into life and then gently eased through the process of dying, when it's time.
