Our Mission

To relieve the burden created without proper end of life support, Going with Grace exists to support people as they answer the question “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?” and to support family members in completing the affairs of their loved one’s life after a death.

We create comprehensive end of life plans that are suited to an individual’s unique humanhood—a true expression of their life and the experiences they cherish. We also create peace of mind while supporting families as they walk a loved one through the end of life. To bridge the gap in end of life support, we train death doulas across the world in an online training forum.

Going with Grace is the heart child of Alua Arthur who is a death doula, attorney, and adjunct professor. Our goal is to bring grace and compassion to the cycle of life by planning for it and effortlessly tying up the loose ends.

Planning for the end of life saves considerable time, money, headache, and heartache for those we love most. In our experiences as attorneys, caretakers, financial planners, and certified death doulas, we use our expertise to create simplicity and ease. Our clients can exist in the peace that their end of life wishes are known and their loved ones are supported after they are gone.

While we are based in Los Angeles, we serve clients all over the world through online education, virtual consultations, and travel. Alua currently sits on the Board of Directors for PAUSE and has served on the Board of Directors of the End of Life Doula Council of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).
