Easing Spiritual Distress

This week, we will discover how people living with serious and life-limiting illnesses might experience spiritual distress, even spiritual crisis related to their illness experience. We’ll start with some definitions and review communication skills that are particularly important when talking with people about spiritual concerns.

Finally, we will talk about hope, especially as it relates to miracles. Let’s get started.
