| Annotation | This article explores theories related to the development of spirituality and its relationship to end of life circumstances. It also considers the source of spiritual well-being, and its place in the context of the third (older, but still living independently) and fourth (frail elderly, needing care support) stages of life; plus how a sense of spirituality affects and hopefully enhances the end of life experience, increasing resilience to adverse events that might otherwise hasten death. It concludes that spiritual as well as religious issues are important for people facing terminal illness and death. (JL). |
