“My spiritual care provider had wonderful insights and observations about—and excellent suggestions about—how to process my complicated grief about the death of my mother. She listened carefully, engaged fully with what I was sharing, and gently helped me to look at the situation from different perspectives. She's obviously a knowledgeable and well-trained expert in the field of chaplaincy, but her warmth and caring were clearly genuine and not merely "professional."”

“You will meet with a trusted advisor who may ask questions to help you think and process and who will encourage you to take steps toward growth and healing.”

“The chaplain with whom I spoke was a careful and reflective listener who at the end provided a graphic way to understand and describe my situation to others, which I appreciated.”
