Spirituality
Those facing a life-limiting illness sometimes turn to spirituality for comfort and strength. Promoting a healthy spirituality helps to reduce stress, ease physical and emotional suffering, and unite the entire family. Each patient is assigned a chaplain available to assist him or her in accessing and utilizing their spirituality.
The term “religion,” often thought to be a synonym for “spirituality,” only pertains to a segment of spiritual life. River Region Hospice employs chaplains educated in spirituality and experienced in working with individuals on the hospice journey regardless of religious preference.
Non-denominational services provided by our chaplains include:
- Teaching and Practicing Relaxation Techniques
- Providing Guided Meditation
- Assessing and Meeting Spiritual Needs
- Addressing Existential Issues Identified by the Patient
- Links to the Religious Leaders of Choice
- Education about the Benefits of Spirituality
