“Offering Hope in the Midst of Doubt”
“When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.” Sufi Aphorism
“Hope is a powerful inner strength that helps one transcend the present situation and helps foster a positive belief or outlook.” The beautiful thing about hospice work is that its very philosophy is about taking care of the whole person ~ body, mind, and spirit. While it is the purview of our chaplains and social workers to care for our patients’ and families’ spiritual, mental, and emotional needs, what nurse, aide, or volunteer would not offer hope and reassurance when the need is so obvious!
