Alua Arthur was an attorney working with the most difficult problems we could imagine; abuse, poverty and assault. But she had done the work with energy and joy until she suddenly found herself depressed and uninspired, lacking any joy in the work.

And how does she help others find the same peace and preparation, leaving room for joy and life for as long as it's possible? A death doula, Alua dedicates her life to these questions.
