Psychological & Spiritual Dimensions
End-of-life care prompts deep emotional and spiritual reflection—for patients and their loved ones. This module examines coping strategies, counseling supports, and methods for finding meaning, closure, and peace. It respects various belief systems and provides tools for spiritual care. You’re welcome to bring your own brown bag lunch – water and tea will be provided. Free will donations are accepted at the event. Presenters are Pat Campanaro and Suzanne Sherman, Cook County Death Doulas from A Better Death.
