Nicole Kidman has revealed she’s training to become a death doula during a talk at the University of San Francisco’s War Memorial Gym on Saturday. The actress says the idea “may sound a little weird” but that she was inspired by her mother Janelle Ann Kidman’s passing in 2024. She shared that during her mother’s final days, “she was lonely,” which made her wish for someone who could “sit impartially and just provide solace and care.” Kidman explained this new path is “part of my expansion and one of the things I will be learning.” Death doulas are also known as end-of-life doulas. They provide support to people, as well as their loved ones, toward the end of life. According to the International End-of-Life Doula Association, they advocate “self-determination and imparts psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, and practical care to empower dignity throughout the dying process.”
