Abstract
Fram the knowledge I have gained through books, articles, the mission and
"Living With Cancer" retreat information, I have concluded that people
suffering with serious disease seek spiritual help outside themselves. In
response to a medical crisis, I believe people in general ask questions about
the meaning of life, or meaning in life, about significance and value and
purpose. These questions are central to the spiritual aspect of life and
illness and death. Thus, people in crisis need a time and place for quiet
reflection, shared reflection, solitary prayer and group prayer.
