In dialoog met tragiek en vergankelijkheid

Geestelijke verzorging en het vormgeven aan een rouwdialoog middels kunst

Samenvatting

In times of tragedy and confrontations with mortality chaplains and other spiritual care professionals can help those who suffer to bear the chaos and pain. With the use of art in all its diversity they offer a space in which people can experiment with their experiences and emotions in the complex transformation caused by, and as a result from, grief. Imbued with by the personal tragedy of losing both partner and mother at the same time the essay shows the need for genuine health care professionals as a girder in the mourning-dialogue so those who suffer can come home to themselves and find a roof after a longer period of having been metaphorically homeless.
