End of Life Transformation Living Fully in Every Moment Meaning and Purpose

HOW DO WE DEFINE SPIRITUALITY?

Paul Tillich: SPIRITUALITY IS DEFINED AS ONE’S “ULTIMATE CONCERN”

Therefore: Your spirituality is personal and is comprised of whatever “really matters” to you Everyone is spiritual because everyone has an ultimate concern

For some patients the ultimate concern is a religion…

For some … it’s baseball.

WHY SHOULD DOCTORS ADDRESS THE SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS?

Pope: Illness is a Spiritual Experience

Illness… Breaks down ego defenses Strips away all pretenses Confronts us with the unknown Creates a crisis of meaning Allows an opportunity for transformation

The Science of Medicine Often loses sight of the patient’s inner needs Creates a “battle scene” in which the patient is at war with his or her own body, mind and spirit Cannot help the patient make sense of tragedy or loss

HOW CAN WE BEST HELP OUR PATIENTS WITH THEIR SPIRITUAL NEEDS?

How to Help Our Patients Treat their physical suffering and be mindful of their emotional and spiritual suffering, as well Treat them with compassion and dignity Be fully present

How to Help Our Patients LISTEN to their stories Help them discover their own truth (and never impose our beliefs) Be resourceful and creative

We Are Healers We can be agents of change for our patients, our society and our planet by: Honoring the sacred processes of illness, healing and death Helping our patients see the opportunities that lie within their diffiuclties

Thank you for this opportunity to share stories and thoughts with you! May you be blessed in your healing work! KAREN WYATT MD address: Website:
