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.

She won’t even come to terms with aging; how can she deal with dying?

Too much time alone in that theater
but can you imagine how trippy it would be to look up and see her while your dying, at least she knows how to maintain her composure. good for her doing something meaningful.

Death doulas already have a bad rep; there’s a lot of good ones out there that are overshadowed by greedy scummy people. This is the LAST thing they need!

Death Doula, great metalcore band name

Someone called me a “Divorce Doula” at work because I helped all my young troops through their divorce processes.
Death Doula sounds WAY cooler.
