Description

Part how-to guide, part hopeful manifesto, Cultivating the Doula Heart provides a clear framework for supporting those facing hardship, grief, and loss. Readers will feel empowered to move from sympathy to empathy to compassion. The doula heart can be readily infused into all work and into any relationship.

Succinct and straightforward, this "work of heart" covers: Components of Doula Care, Aspects of Loss, Ways of Being/Ways of Doing, Grief Support, and Contemplative Exercises.

Critical Reviews

"Arnoldy crafts a brilliant exploration not only of what it means to be a Doula for persons who are Living and Dying, but about what it means to be a fully present human fearlessly turning toward the suffering of others. I am inspired by these words and hope that my family and I have a Doula by our side when we need them."

Bob Gramling, M.D., D.Sc.--Holly and Bob Miller Chair in Family Medicine, University of Vermont
