Spiritual Support in Hospice Care - How Does Hospice Help with Spirituality and Grief?

How does hospice deal with the spiritual needs of the patient and their family? Can hospice care help with bereavement and grief? Together with physical, social and emotional care we use spiritual care to make sure that no patient goes through their end of life journey alone, afraid or in pain. We recognize that each patient understands spirituality differently and approaches death with their own unique experiences, ideas, values, hopes, needs, and life stories. Caring for a patient’s spiritual needs in hospice begins with understanding their expectations, beliefs, and boundaries. This work is done by our spiritual care specialists who speak with you and the people closest to you so that we better understand how you want to approach the dying process. This type of care is for everyone – for people with strong spiritual beliefs, for people struggling with their spiritual beliefs, or for people who claim no spiritual beliefs at all.
