Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The spiritual agenda for the dying presumes a willingness to face the reality of imminent death. It also depends on support from caregivers who will encourage whatever agency is possible for the one who is dying. The spiritual practices that will enhance agency for the dying include remembering, thanking, relinquishing, waiting, and trusting. The absence of abandonment and the dependable presence of caregivers are essential to create communities and relationships in which hope can be found and sustained. |
