Now I am old enough to know that death is not the end, but it is the beginning of a new life. We have to submit our lives to God and ask him for the strength to move forward. Worldview about life after death will largely determine how the patient and families welcome death. Now, as a Christian nurse, I can see death in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ (GCU, 2015). If I can help the family members to go through this traumatic experience and the grieving process, my Christian calling as nurse will be
Many religions use water to purify and cleanse. In the Catholic religion, priests use water to baptize. In the Hindu religion, people use it to cleanse themselves before prayer. Water is often viewed as holy and sacred by these and many other religions, and is commonly associated with life and purity.

The ethical principle of autonomy provides for respect for the patient’s autonomy to make decisions and choices concerning their life and death. Respecting the patient’s autonomy goes against the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence. There also exists the issue of religious beliefs the patient, family, or the caretaker holds, with which the caretaker has to grapple. The caretaker thus faces issues of fidelity to patient welfare by not abandoning the patient or their family, compassionate provision of pain relief methods, and the moral precept to neither hasten death nor prolong life.
By smearing puss from a victim of smallpox into a fairly healthy man, it fights the infection. Only about one out of fifty patients die.

Merchant ships and rodents were the two main ways this disease spread and infected humans (The Black Death 1348). The symptoms for this plague were extremely painful and death was the most likely outcome in most cases.
The word voodoo has such a stigma around, this is due to the fact that people are mainly informed of the “tourist” appeal of voodoo. People and when I say people, me included before this, thought it was about witches, magic, and dolls. I believed it was about dark magic and the practice of it, not even knowing it was a followed religion or even a way of life. To understand this somewhat mysterious and “taboo” subject we wanted to first understand specifically how does a person who follows voodoo participate in their faith; and secondly how does voodooism address health/ sickness and curing? We wanted to find out what was below the surface of the word Voodoo.

Water and sea salt are mixed together in order to form a solution that is then heated up until some of the water will dissolve to form an effective remedy.
Health Care givers should be aware of the issues on what to say and how to act,give emotional support,and when to use hospice care. An article stated,”Several scholars listed the implications of spirituality,including preserving the patient’s hope,helping the patient find meaning in life and death,and helping the patient find spirit.. ”(Qiaohong Guo and Cynthia S Jacelon,An integrative review of dignity in end-of-life care.)What this means is it is there to help the patient have hope,remember the good moments in life,and find the feeling of completeness so they can pass on from the physical world with no regrets.

Giving a second chance at life to someone who is ill is the best gift some will ever receive. Knowing that the time they 're having to wait has ended and they will eventually be healthy again is so relieving. The daily routine treatments will end and they can live without fear of that organ failing on them or losing their own life. Some people choose to
If this painful disease leads down a road of death by misery, then it is only treatment to pass this patient away peacefully. We are doing justice by ending the pain, torment, and suffering.

You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it”. Here we see water is for the purpose of purification for those who are going to enter into the Temple. This is an indication of the Church and the ritual of Baptism. One becomes a member of the Church through the sacrament of baptism. Here one can enter into the tent of meeting only after washing themselves with the water that has been placed there in between the tent and the altar.

First, as the priest walked on to the altar there was a table with a cloth over it which the priest kisses. I was curious as to what the meaning of the table was and asked my friend Paul. His answer was that the meaning the table signified the body of Christ. On that same table the priest set a gold colored what seemed to me to be a wine glass and a circular disk on the table. The priest lifted the circular disk in to the air with both hands and said “this is my body which will be given up for you this is the challis of my blood”.
