If you'd had a doula for your loss...

[TeniBear]

ladies I just wanted a little insight from more people for other students in my doula course...

If you'd had a doula for your loss, and they didn't charge you for their services, would you have preferred a sympathy card saying they waived their fees, an invoice for $0, or a sympathy card with no mention of fees at all? And if they wanted to keep a part of their fee, how much would you have been content with? Some people are saying they'd keep the "retainer" and that's it, where others wouldn't charge at all. I plan to put something in my contract saying all fees will be waived if I'm to support someone through a loss.

Personally, I'd have preferred a sympathy card with a note saying there was to be no charge, and I think that's what I'll do if I'm ever in that situation.

How about you?

PS - Mods, I thought this would be the best section for this, but I undead if you feel it more suited for somewhere else

ETA - Forgot to take out something that would've made sense if I put this where I originally was going to
