ABSTRACT This essay explores the impact of inevitable uncertainty during the aging process and explores the effects of uncertainty on our spiritual experience during our elder years. It offers the role of touchstones as reminders of all that we have loved and posits that as long as we have breath, our deepest desires enfold us in our own spiritual growth. By deepening and broadening our understanding of desire, we can experience our individual spiritual growth as the product of love and compassion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
