Dr. Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, mDiv, has been a leader in the field of grief and bereavement for many years. In addition to his international work on the subject, he is also an ordained Lutheran minister. In a recent interview, Dr. Doka discussed the places where end-of-life care and spirituality intersect, and both the opportunities and challenges that that perspective provides. He notes that, "When spirituality is defined broadly, it can be an important component of how one makes sense about what is happening at the end of life, and bring meaning to the life that someone has lived."
Dr. Doka will be a panelist on HFA's upcoming 2011 educational program, Spirituality and End-of-Life Care.
