Getty Images Nicole Kidman is ready to branch out beyond acting for her next chapter. During a talk at the University of San Francisco on Saturday, she revealed that she is training to be a death doula.
A death doula — recently depicted in an episode of “The Pitt” in which a woman had terminal cancer — is a non-medical companion who helps support people navigating death, loss and mortality. According to the International End of Life Doula Association, the caregivers can offer psychosocial, emotional, spiritual and practical support.
