Some examples of spiritual support include:

Sharing stories from life.
Exploring what gives life meaning.
Finding what brings comfort, strength and peace.
Resolving unfinished business with familv and friends.
Sharing inspirational readings, singing or enjoying music that nurtures the soul.

We also offer:
