‘The Office’ Star Rainn Wilson May Quit Acting To Become Death Doula

Rainn Wilson, known for his role in "The Office," revealed on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that he is considering leaving acting to become a death doula, a profession that supports individuals through the end of life much like pregnancy doulas assist with birth. He described the role as guiding people through the transition from life to the next phase with dignity, respect, and hope, emphasizing the spiritual continuation of the human soul. Wilson highlighted the importance of creating a healing space for families to mourn, grieve, and contemplate this often-overlooked transition in Western society. Meyers noted that a death doula helps alleviate the fear of dying, turning it into a calming experience. Wilson also mentioned the meditation and contemplation aspects involved in the role, aiming to provide comfort and legacy understanding for those nearing death. Despite considering this career change, Meyers expressed hope that Wilson would continue acting alongside pursuing his interest in becoming a death doula.
