"As my mother was passing, she was lonely, and there was only so much the family could provide. I wish there were these people in the world that were there to sit impartially and just provide solace and care."
"I have been terrified of death my whole life. I still am, and because I've been so afraid I haven't been able to live fully. I have no choice but to start to develop a healthier relationship with it."
Nicole Kidman is training to become a death doula, a role that provides emotional and psychological support to the dying. This decision was inspired by her mother's death in 2024, where Kidman felt the need for more support during that time. She expressed a desire for impartial care for the dying, especially as her family was preoccupied with their own lives. Kidman is not alone in this pursuit, as other Hollywood figures, like Chloe Zhao, have also trained as death doulas to confront their fears of death.
