we saw those who were in the last hours of their lives in hospice care coming to peace with themselves and God. Just as the body tries to heal itself from a virus or flesh wound so I believe does the spirit of a person. Jean Watson in her video “Introduction to healing Science Theory” mentions‚ “we become the healing environment.” I so agree with that.
