520 |a This paper examines the efficacy of incorporating spiritual practices, such as prayer and pilgrimages, into patient-centered care to enhance the healing journey of individuals experiencing illness. Using Lisa Ray’s cancer memoir, Close to the Bone (2019), we seek to investigate the impact of spirituality, sacred spaces, and faith on maintaining an individual’s religiosity during times of ailment. Our analysis of the potential salubrious effects of incorporating practices like prayer and pilgrimages, as well as the ameliorative influence of storytelling and community, aims to shed light on the utility of these practices in healthcare. Furthermore, we aim to situate prayer as a healing modality and examine the pertinence of Hindu pilgrimage sites in India to the case study. By evaluating the spiritual practices and sacred spaces that facilitated Lisa’s healing journey, we hope to contribute to the understanding of the importance of including spiritual practices and beliefs in patient care within the interdisciplinary framework of medical humanities, which encompasses a wide array of disciplines concerned with the human pursuit of health and well-being.
