About us
We've Moved!
Find us at our new home, the Austin Death Doulas page!
This is a local networking group for Death Doulas/End of Life Doulas and those interested in pursuing or learning about the work in and around the Austin, TX area. We aim to create a supportive community of death positive people who can learn from and grow alongside one another. We look forward to gathering for informal in-person conversations with like-minded people, sharing resources and information, and raising public awareness of Death Doula/End of Life Doula work in Texas.

Skip-to-the-End Book Club
·OnlineOnlineBook: A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney
Full event description
Skip-to-the-End Book Club explores all things death and dying: mortality, existential rabbit holes, deeply personal stories, preparing for death, caring for the dying, and more....A Heart that Works is a father’s perspective on the illness and loss of his infant son. Rob Delaney is a successful comedy writer who brings a particular sensibility of laughable incredulity to his and his family’s experiences as they navigate hospitalizations, test after test, procedure after procedure, all while doing everything in their power to enjoy being a family and raising a beautiful baby.
We’ll come together for a virtual discussion to talk about our experiences with the book and share perspectives in compassionate and open-hearted exchange.
This will be a virtual event. To attend: Register Via Zoom3 attendees
