> A death doula — recently depicted in an episode of “The Pitt” in which a woman had terminal cancer — is a non-medical companion who helps support people navigating death, loss and mortality. According to the International End of Life Doula Association, the caregivers can offer psychosocial, emotional, spiritual and practical support.
> “As my mother was passing, she was lonely, and there was only so much the family could provide,” Kidman told the crowd, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “Between my sister and I, we have so many children and our careers and our work, and wanting to take care of her because my father wasn’t in the world anymore, and that’s when I went, ‘I wish there was these people in the world that were there to sit impartially and just provide solace and care.’”

While it’s a nice sentiment and a noble thing for her to want to do, wouldn’t the fact that she’s Nicole Kidman somewhat undercut the basis of the service?
I’d be somewhat confused about why Nicole Kidman is there. Is she researching a part? Does she need to do community service for some drunk driving arrest? Is my mind going and I’m imaging a visit from Nicole Kidman? (Honestly, the most likely). There’d have to be a decent period of explanation over why Nicole Kidman is in my room and my last moments, not to mention the general conversation at my funeral, would be less about me and more about Nicole Kidman.
I feel she is way too famous to be able to do this effectively.

If Nicole Kidman showed up at my deathbed, I’d assume a movie was about to start.
