The International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA) is a non-profit organization based in Jersey City, NJ that aims to normalize death, dying, and grief by encouraging the presence of end-of-life doulas. They provide conscientious education and stewardship, fostering community advocacy and offering compassionate support to individuals and their families during the end-of-life journey. INELDA's comprehensive training programs equip doulas with the necessary skills to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care, ensuring that people die in a way that honors their culture, fulfills their wishes, and brings comfort.
Recognizing that dying is a human experience rather than a medical event, INELDA seeks to bridge the gap between modern western society's disconnection from the naturalness of dying and the need for compassionate end-of-life care. By incorporating ancestral traditions and embracing the end-of-life doula approach, INELDA aims to alleviate fear and unnecessary suffering, particularly among marginalized communities such as Black people, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, the homeless, and the impoverished. Whether you are facing a life-limiting diagnosis, caring for a loved one, or simply interested in best practices in end-of-life care, INELDA welcomes you to join their mission of providing accessible, equitable, and compassionate deathcare.
