Thank you, you said it better than me. Its nothing if it isn't real. We all get our turn at bat, and when its our turn, we will be looking for something no spirituality researcher or "health workers incorporat[ing] more psychological and spiritual elements into palliative care" has to offer. Unless they have met the real God, they will be quite uesless, however well meaning they may be.
We had Hospice when My Mother was bad, and the group we had was wonderful. I think that once they know that the family is religous, they feel free to express it too, but we may have had an exceptional group.
I have no idea if this reply is really the answer to yours or not!! LOL
