Research on spirituality at the end of life is extensive. Most research prescribes why care workers should talk with patients and their families about spirituality, who should talk with them, and how care workers should do it. Few studies address the experiences of discussing religion with families at the end of life. In this study, semistructured interviews with nurses, patient advocates, chaplains, and social workers (n = 65) described their experiences of religious discussions with family members. Generally, families seek spiritual reassurance for their decisions, including that their decisions align with the will of God and their religion
