An end-of-life doula offers support to people who are dying as well as their loved ones.
What is an end-of-life doula? I'm an educator with INELDA, the International End-of-Life Doula Association, and we define an end-of-life doula as a nonmedical person who accompanies, educates and advocates for people (as well as those in their circle of care) who are planning for death, diagnosed with a terminal illness or facing imminent death. I've worked both with people who are healthy but want to plan for their own future—sometimes because they have witnessed a difficult illness or death with a relative—and with those who have just received a fatal prognosis. I always say that there's no wrong time to reach out to a doula.

A VALUE FOCUS CLIPS RETURNS
THERE'S more to Mairs & Power Growth than its name implies. The managers favor firms with above-average earnings growth. But a durable, competitive position in their market- “a number-one or number-two position and gaining share,” says comanager Andrew Adams—and a reasonable stock price matter even more.

Look Beyond the Tech Giants
I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care
A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
