AnnotationThe author contends that the last years of life cannot be adequately described without attention to the struggle to keep the human spirit from being overwhelmed by frailty, which is described as a spiritual struggle. This essay aims to show the necessary interrelationship of spirituality, community, and the last stage of life, in order to draw out some implications of this interrelationship for "ageing with dignity".
