Question/Prompt:
Utilizing your textbook readings from this module week, discuss how faith
and spirituality may be potentially therapeutic to those who are dying. Then, read through
The
Code of Ethics for the Association for Death Education and Counseling
and highlight two
specific responsibilities that a counselor has when engaging bereavement counseling. Detail
these responsibilities and discuss why they are important.
After reading my textbook and articles regarding how faith and spirituality may be potentially
therapeutic to those who are dying I found many interesting things. Faith and spirituality can
offer an individual the feeling of peace or comfort. Whenever we reflect on God’s word and
promise, it can always offer you a better understanding on this course called life. I think faith and
spirituality can affect people differently in the dying phase. When older people die, they seem to
have more comfort about their transition into the afterlife, compare to someone who is younger.
