How can I minister to someone who is dying? How can I best support their family?
At the deathbed, patients and those gathered with them often seek meaning in one of the most complex times in life. They long for recovery or extended time; others mourn the impending loss; and many express fear of what is next. Others draw on their religious traditions to inform both their hopes and their fears.
Yet chaplains and spiritual caregivers have minimal resources to guide them to best provide support. They often have limited time to develop rapport and varying expectations from those of the people they serve. At the Time of Death, was written to provide symbols and rituals that can be used across traditions to help those who are dying feel grounded and rooted in spiritual Presence.
At the Time of Death by the Rev. Dr. David L. Bieniek is one of the top resources for chaplains, caregivers, and pastors who are trying to help family members, friends, and the dying feel connected to the Spiritual at the end of life.
