Jr. Charles J Lopez Spiritual Care Reflections from a Hospice Chaplain

Annotation

From the good sisters and monks of the 11th century, hospice care grew through the passions of 20th century people like Dame Cecily Saunders and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and into the recognized modality it is today of compassionate and palliative care for those who are on their final journal from this world.Pastor Lopez rightly fills this name as he reaches out, not only to patients and their families, but the team of nurses, doctors, social workers and caregivers who o-ffer their hands and hearts to those in need. Within these pages you will find practical and compassionate words, along with hands and a heart that knows the pain of loss and feet that are willing to accompany the reader on their journey.
