Spiritual Care

Medicine for the soul that makes you feel heard, held, and whole during a difficult time.

Every religion or belief system has its traditions regarding the end of life. Each person’s perspective and spirituality can be just as diverse. Empowered Endings’ Spiritual Care combines our team’s ability to meet each person in their own belief system with extensive studies on a wide variety of traditions to ensure nurturing connections and conversations that nourish each client in their soul’s truth. We offer spiritual support and guidance as unique as each client, including sacred rituals.

Traditional models of care don’t work for everyone and it’s important to receive personalized care that meets you where you are. You will receive expert guidance to help navigate the journey.

Bob and Elizabeth are just very gentle souls. There was no pressure and shared with my wife Rachel and I the many options you have to consider. It felt just like someone putting their arms around you.

For us as a family, Bob and Elizabeth gave us the tranquility and support that we needed at that moment. It made a total difference in the way my Dad passed away. It allowed me to be the daughter and not a nurse.
