Do individuals become more religious as they die? This question has often been debated among academics who study death. Whether those who are dying reconnect, review, or renew prior religious beliefs -- or are even open to new religious experiences -- they are likely to engage in some form of spiritual searching. As part of HFA's annual educational program focusing on these issues, HBV will offer a national bereavement teleconference that will address aspects of spirituality at life's end in greater depth. Spirituality and End-of-Life Care will discuss the differences and relationship between spirituality and religion, while also addressing spirituality during illness, death and grief; spiritual assessment and empowerment, and life review.
