Nicole Kidman is taking a major step into a new, unexpected profession as she trains to become a death doula. The actress shared this update during the University of San Francisco’s Silk Speakers series this past weekend. While she acknowledged that the career move might sound a little weird to some, she views it as a significant part of her personal expansion following the loss of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, in September 2024.
According to Page Six, during her mother’s final days, Nicole felt the limitations of what a family can provide on their own. She noted that between her own work, her sister Antonia Kidman’s career, and the responsibility of raising children, there were moments when they simply couldn’t offer the level of presence she felt her mother needed.
