Scenario

When families face death with conflicting spiritual beliefs

My dad is dying and my mom wants the family to pray together but half of us don't believe in prayer anymore and the other half can't imagine not praying and none of us wants to cause more pain during this time. We're all trying to love each other and honor him but we can't agree on how.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family must find shared sacred ground while honoring divergent beliefs about what offers comfort and meaning in loss.
