All of Me

<b><i>All of Me</i> illuminates how chaplains, hospital caregivers, and clergy can provide spiritual care for those who are sick, in hospitals, preparing for surgery, or recovering. </b>Based on interviews with forty hospital and ER patients about their experiences, lessons learned, and insights gained while receiving care, Boursier weaves these accounts together with interdisciplinary literature from medical and social sciences, ethics, philosophy, spirituality, theology, and religious studies. The result is a resource that offers both insight and practical tools for practitioners and students, showing how spiritually informed compassionate care can be cultivated through identifying, respecting, and supporting spirituality to foster holistic patient well-being.
