Abstract
Before you read another word of this chapter, we invite you to stop for a few minutes and think about the first thoughts, concepts, images and feelings you have when you think about spirituality. Imagine this chapter as a brief journal into this mysterious yet vital aspect of human living and dying. Spirituality is an essential and dynamic phenomenon at work in your life as a person. As a nurse working with people with chronic and complex needs, you will encounter spirituality flowing through their lives.
