The Contents of a Spiritual Toolbox (encore) May 11, 2023
Our guests, a physician and a hospice chaplain, discuss the importance of attending to the spirit as well as the body at the end of life. They describe how they work with non-religious patients to build meaning, and they introduce us to the concept of gerotranscendence-- a theory suggesting that as we age we become less self-occupied and more expansive in our spirituality.
