The book is divided into three parts: Tools for the Caregiver, Spiritual Care to the Dying, and Spiritual Care After Death. A set of questions and the author's observations for both professionals and laypersons follow each chapter, delivering the perfect vehicle for educational application or group discussions. Quiles teaches us that we can all be effective spiritual caregivers. Whether you are caring for a loved one or are a professional or volunteer at a nursing facility, assisted living home, or hospice, this book provides you with practical insight to guide you through your spiritual care journey.
