I am a Christian, and though I do not believe in forcing religion on anyone, I believe Spiritual care is as important as physical and emotional care. For example I cared for a comatose patient in Critical Care once. His prognosis was grim. In talking to his wife about death she expressed she could cope with his death but longed for an opportunity to share some things with him first. I offered to pray with her and she agreed. Shortly after the prayer her husband woke up comepletely lucid. She talked to him for 3 hours. He lapsed back into a coma and died later that night. I considered this a part of providing holistic care.
