Dying, Doulas, and Life Lessons with Darnell Lamont Walker

Death Doula Darnell Lamont Walker shows up for difficult conversations and heartbreaking losses. He knows the power of dying moments. His new book Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End shares the stories he’s gathered in his work with people with life-limiting illness. Darnell acknowledges that we have a healthcare system that’s “one size fits all”, but people are looking for care they can trust, that’s delivered in ways that feel respectful and appropriate. The “cookie cutter” approach doesn’t feel like a good fit for care when someone is dying. Darnell learned from his grandmother to provide care with intention and curiosity, to be present with grief and suffering. Her wisdom lives on in his work. 

Darnell works to educate, engage, and speak out about death and end of life care. You can find his work at darnellwalker.com. Don’t miss his beautiful book; buy your copy here or at major booksellers.
