Spiritual Care

The Hospice Chaplain offers spiritual care and counseling to patients and their loved ones. A wake-up call to one's mortality often raises doubts, questions and concerns and a search for spiritual peace. Spiritual peace includes wholeness, connection with others, belonging and safety.

• The chaplain is a caring companion and fellow traveler, listening as fears are acknowledged and anxieties are explored

• The chaplain serves as witness, not judge

• For those who find religion to be a means to spiritual peace, the chaplain may act as their religious guide

• The chaplain will assist in connecting them with clergy who can administer sacred rituals and other religious support they need

• In addition to the traditional and religious paths to spiritual peace, some individuals benefit from life review, visualization, dream interpretation and relaxation therapy

The Hospice Chaplain is available to meet in the privacy of the patient’s home or at Hospice House.
