Priest/Spiritual advisor
(17-08-2005)
Priests or spiritual advisors also have a great deal of experience in talking with people during the difficult hours of life. For people of faith, it will be natural to contact a support person such as a priest or pastor. Even you have not turned to the church in the past, it is natural to have spiritual questions at this time.
Churches often have social arrangements, and some churches have transportation arranged that will pick you up and take you home again.
If you have been examined at a hospital, there will be a hospital chaplain. He or she has special knowledge of the problems sick people are dealing with, which may be an advantage. You could always turn to them.
A priest is obligated to observe confidentiality and if you are concerned about this, ask them for more details.
