Description
Summary:This reflection piece delineates the paradoxical nature of the hospital as a place where emotional, physical, and spiritual health converge and intersect. It captures three commonly raised themes in spiritual care: (1) meaning and purpose, (2) self-worth and self-love, and (3) belonging and validation; and brings attention to the deeper questions being explored. The author self-discloses the impact of patient encounters as a paradoxical process of becoming and undoing on an existential level.
