Many emotions can overcome families with a loved one in hospice care, including guilt, stress, fear, and sadness, so the need for hospice counsellor to help alleviate some of the family’s worry through spiritual counselling. When working with a hospice chaplain or counsellor, families get to know the importance of spirituality during trying times.
Hospice Spiritual Care Services
A hospice chaplain, or spiritual counselor, is trained to assess individual needs and to meet each person they serve wherever they are in their own understanding. Spiritual counselors never proselytize or try to tell someone what to think.
Rather, they are trained to be active listeners and to comfort the people they serve by guiding them through their own questions and emotions and offering insight and inspiration when needed. They also can assist patients with conceptualizing and planning a life celebration or memorial service.
