And this part of human experience often grows in significance as a person faces their own or a loved one's death. While dying is the end of one journey, it is the beginning of another. So it is often a contemplative time, as people think about what their life has meant and what their death means. Hospice views spirituality as being different from religion. Spirituality encompasses a person's life experience and goes beyond their identification with a particular religion.
Spiritual care is part of hospice care.
In addition to the chaplains, all team members contribute to the spiritual aspects of hospice care.
