Hello Iimph!

Good start toward your first draftRJBazell (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:30, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Really interesting article so far! One thing you could do is add more links in your article to other Wikipedia pages, such as the palliative care page. Also, just out of curiosity, are there any statistics you could include on the prevalence of death midwives (growth/decline)? Have there been any studies showing how this affects quality of life for terminal patients? How would the average person hear about death doulas (is it recommended at hospitals? Are they normally private practices? Are there groups trying to promote this idea?). How did the idea start and proliferate? Might be hard to find sources that answer these questions, especially since the idea seems less-known. What you have so far is really good though :) Bunnydew15 (talk) 03:42, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer Edit/Review

This is a terrific first draft with some interesting facts, however, few statistics on the development of this career over time. I am not sure how easy it will be to find, but I think it will be interesting to include some statistical information comparing the prevalence of death doulas and midwives. I would also include a section explaining why death doulas aren't as commonly understood as regular doulas. If there are some facts about the social understanding of both careers, that would draw an interesting comparison. Additionally, I would try and focus more on the history behind the concept as well. Your article currently emphasizes the more recent developments, however, a section or two about the history of death midwives would help 'set the scene'. Lastly, how are hospice and death doulas different. Your current section says that they are similar, but hospice workers still go through death doula training. What is the main advantage of death doula training, and how does it add to the hospice care, employee training?

Peer Review #2

I think this is a great topic that, though somewhat specific, has shown to actually contain a lot of relevant information that sheds light on a topic that is shielded. Though I think what you have right now is great (if you could find more information relating to it, that'd be awesome), I think, as a reader, it would be very interesting to see more of the history of death midwives incorporated into your article. It's clear that you have done your research on the implications of public health at large--perhaps giving the reader some introduction into this unique topic would be beneficial. The topic is in and of itself quite fascinating--keep what you have right now (it's great). Just add a little more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dedoton4 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

I think this topic is very interesting. I am very glad that you picked it as I believe that it will definitely fill a hole in the knowledge gap of most people when it comes to the concept of a death midwife. I think what you can really continue to talk about is the alternative death movement. I think you did a great job defining what a death midwife is. In a sense, I would love for you to then elaborate and talk about their role culturally. Why are they not known? For those that do know them, how are they viewed. Do they ever interact with other people in the medical professions and what is that interaction usually like. I think that will make your article even stronger.
