The actress recently revealed that her mother’s death inspired her to seek a new path and that she is preparing for another career.
Nicole Kidman surprised the audience during a recent lecture at the University of San Francisco, in California, by revealing that she is preparing for a new career.
The “Scarpetta” actress shared that the search for a new direction was inspired by the loss of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who passed away in September 2024 at the age of 84.
According to a report by Entertainment Weekly, Kidman, 58, told the audience that she is now training to become a “death doula,” a professional who offers emotional, spiritual, and practical support to people with terminal illnesses and their families.
Kidman admitted that the career change “may seem a little strange,” but said that witnessing her mother’s loneliness at the end of her life raised important reflections.
“When my mother was dying, she felt alone, and the family could only offer what was within our reach,” she revealed.
“Between my sister and me, we have so many children, our careers and our work, and the desire to take care of her because my father was no longer with us, that’s when I thought: ‘I wish there were people in the world who could be there to sit impartially and simply offer comfort and care’.”
“So this is part of my growth, and it is one of the things I’m going to learn,” she concluded.
