Deathing: Reclaiming the Art of Dying in a Unitary Paradigm.

The energy of language is instrumental to navigating phenomena in a unitary caring paradigm. Tensing the noun "death" into a verb "deathing" holds space for consciously living the experience of dying. Supported by personal reflective narrative, the authors explore the transformative nature of deathing. Through a lens of caring science, the ancient art of doula-ing emerges to invite a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. Reclaiming and deepening the definition of deathing enhances the understanding of the death doula role and creates space for new language and possibilities among nurses and death workers within communities of care.
