End-of-Life Doula Nancy Weber Shares How the Coronavirus Pandemic has Impacted her Approach to End of Life Care
For over 20 years Nancy Weber was an Occupational Therapist in New York City and later worked as an advocate for children with developmental disabilities. She says through her experience working with individuals and families with chronic illnesses and her own personal challenges with chronic depression, she developed an interest in end of life care.
After completing UVM's End of Life Doula Professional Certificate program this past spring, she had planned to return to hospice volunteering when the Coronavirus Pandemic hit. In this episode of End of Life Care from a Distance, Nancy shares how she is drawing on the learning from the course to maintain a calm presence and focus on listening right now amongst so much uncertainty.
End-of-Life Doulas complement the care provided by family members and friends, as well as medical, palliative, and hospice professionals, within the settings of hospitals, senior care facilities, and homes.
