Hospice Occupational Therapy in Los Angeles, California

Spirituality is a connection with the human spirit and soul. The word is interpreted in different ways by different people and often develops and expands over time. In hospice care, spiritual support is about helping patients to connect or reconnect with their spiritual side. For some, that means exploring their beliefs regarding organized religion. For others, it might mean self-contemplation, journaling, or otherwise exploring their inner feelings and ideals. Responses to spiritual exploration can vary from sadness to isolation or even becoming extremely hyper and needing constant attention. Radiance Hospice, Inc. recognizes the importance of nurturing an individual’s spiritual side, especially during the end stages of life, and we provide a variety of services that can help.

Spiritual Hospice Support Provided:

• Clergy support
• Personal or family counseling
• Providing literature related to spirituality
• Helping individuals to access support groups

Nurturing your spiritual self is important regardless of your religious beliefs. Opportunities for contemplation and conversation with a chaplain helps many patients to regain a sense of purpose, reconnect with loved ones, and better manage uncomfortable emotional or physical symptoms.

Radiance Hospice, Inc.’s spiritual care is offered in a sensitive way and without judgment to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for the patient. While we never force any patient to accept spiritual support, it remains available throughout the hospice care experience to help patients address questions, concerns, or needs.
