Serving the Dying.
The word “Douala” comes from the ancient Greek, meaning “a woman who serves” and it is most often used in reference to a trained and experienced professional who provides support to a woman during and immediately after childbirth.
Now, people are seeking that same type of emotional and practical support as they prepare to leave their life behind.
A Douala may choose to just sit vigil, but common practice is to take a more active role to prepare and provide patient and family care for the transition to death and afterwards.
