Nicole Kidman planning a new career path after mother’s death
‘Babygirl’ star reflects on grief as she shares real reason for shifting her acting career
Nicole Kidman recently opened up about the real reason for shifting her career path from acting.
The Babygirl star revealed that her mother’s death has transformed her life completely while speaking at the University of San Francisco's War Memorial Gym on April 11, per San Fransico Chronicle report.
The idea of becoming a Death Doula was not sudden but it was when her mother Janelle Ann Kidman’s died in September 2024, Nicole decided to learn this new career.
“As my mother was passing, she was lonely, and there was only so much the family could provide,” said the 58-year-old actress.
Nicole went on saying, “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.”
It was at this moment, the Australia actress thought to be with “those people in the world that were there to sit impartially and just provide solace and care”.
“So that's part of my expansion and one of the things I will be learning,” to become a death doula, someone who provides support to people and their loved ones toward the end of life.
According to International End-of-Life Doula Association, “an end-of-life doula advocates self-determination and imparts psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, and practical care to empower dignity throughout the dying process.”
