title: [Spiritual needs at the end of life].
abstract: All human beings have been dieting since two million of years, and since 100,000 years they have surrounded death with rites and religious considerations, which reflect a basic need to assume the end of life with spirituality. Religion helps to prepare patients spiritually in the end of their life to cope with death as something which cannot be eluded. We are all bound to die. A spiritual fullness should contribute to the serenity and to strengthening of the soul at the end of life.
