 The kind of person you want to be perceived as when you die, it gives you an idea of what you're supposed to be doing right now. The birds seem like they cheep a little bit louder, you know, and the sky looks bluer. I became a doula because I think that if I could point at the end of life what we want that to be about, then that should dictate what we want the middle stages and the beginning stages to be about.
