Spiritual Care

Spirituality:
Experiencing God

Spiritual Needs of All Persons:

Belonging: Who cares for me/about me?  When you are most in need or most afraid, to whom do you turn?
Purpose: When do I feel more alive?  What gives your life meaning?
Outlook: Can tomorrow be as good or better than today?  What role does your faith play in regaining your health?
Control: Do I feel free to shape my own destiny?  Do you make choices each day that positively affect your life?
Communication: With whom can I talk about my inner life?  Are there people with whom you have trouble communicating?
Values: By whose values do I live?  Do you experience life as sacred?
Forgiveness: Am I forgiven and forgiving?  Do you often feel guilty for past shortcomings?
