Spirituality & End-of-Life Care: Open to the Public; CEU's offered

Do individuals become more religious as they die? This question has often been debated among academics who study death. Whether those who are dying reconnect, review, or renew prior religious beliefs -- or are even open to new religious experiences -- they are likely to engage in some form of spiritual searching. As part of HFA's annual educational program focusing on these issues, HBV will offer a national bereavement teleconference that will address aspects of spirituality at life's end in greater depth. Spirituality and End-of-Life Care will discuss the differences and relationship between spirituality and religion, while also addressing spirituality during illness, death and grief; spiritual assessment and empowerment, and life review.
