We’ve found that patients, families and caregivers of all faiths often have more intense spiritual needs at critical life transitions, such as end of life. Some people desire spiritual counseling and prayer; for others the spiritual presence provided by a member of the clergy can be of tremendous comfort. Still others need special cultural or religious rituals to obtain spiritual comfort.
At Capital Hospice, we place great importance on helping people find spiritual peace in the faith of their choice, and provide a variety of services to help patients and their families achieve this. Our services include, but are not limited to:
Capital Hospice realizes that many conversations about illness, aging, dying, grief and end-of-life decision take place in churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and other places of worship. Our staff and trained volunteers are available to support both clergy and congregations, by providing comprehensive and sensitive information about these difficult topics.
We have a variety of frequently requested materials and presentations currently available, or we can tailor programs and services to your specific needs. There is no charge for these services; grants and donations fund these presentations.
Current topics Include:
Capital Hospice also provides support for faith communities during times of community crisis, by facilitating discussion of events and how individuals and faith communities can cope. For more information on our outreach to faith communities, please call Phil Carpenter at 703.531.6224 or email .
