Hi Mauricia
Thank you for sharing your insight
Hi Robert
When a resident is terminal I like to refer them to hospice and ask hospice what I can do
Also clergy of their religion are helpful
1. How many elderly enquire as to what happens to them after their life has ended?
2. If and when they do enquire, what explanation is given to them?
Apologies, I hadn't noticed the two replies. Kind of you both to show interest.
I suspect some may view it as an antagonistic question , but nothing could be further from the truth. I am a confessing Christian and of course have my own view. I am also the Secretary of a small charity overseeing the welfare of some seventy elderly residents in an Extra Care Scheme. I obviously have my own understanding to the subject, but I simply seek the other point of view in an effort to bring comfort to those why present the question to me. Thanks again for your replies. so kind of you.
Every blessing,
Bob.
I do believe our response must be relevant to their spiritual beliefs. Therefore we should get familiar with their beliefs when this time seems to be approaching.
