Inspirational

Individuals and their loved ones typically experience an avalanche of emotions when illness strikes, and living with it may mean adjusting to a new sense of self. In this program, professional multi-faith chaplains, family members, and a patient explore how to achieve normalcy—a feeling of standing on solid ground. They help guide viewers to find things that provide joy, meaning and gratefulness; to connect or re-connect to ourselves, others, a higher power or religion; to engage in spiritual exercises like breathing and creative expression; and to voice or not voice their experiences. 'Strength is just something you have to find within yourself…' (Mary Beth Greenberg, Family Caregiver)

Professional, multi-faith chaplains offer insight into the meaning and structure of prayer, and then, in heartfelt and expressive voices, engage patients, family members and staff in various prayers and meditations-general and faith-specific. Accompanied by soothing images and music, the readings provide viewers with feelings of comfort, strength, community, and healing of body, mind and spirit. 'Let us find within ourselves that place of wholeness… of healing…' (Rev. Florine Thompson, Chaplain)
