Actress Nicole Kidman has revealed she is pursuing a new and unexpected path following the death of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, in 2024.
Speaking during a live discussion at the University of San Francisco, Kidman shared that the experience of losing her mother after a prolonged illness inspired her to train as a death doula, a role focused on providing emotional and practical support to individuals nearing the end of life.
Reflecting on her mother's final moments, she said, "As my mother was passing, she was lonely, and there was only so much the family could provide." She explained that balancing family responsibilities and careers made it difficult to be constantly present,
adding, "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."
