title: When mom's the patient.
abstract: This verbatim on the author's mother's death was originally submitted to a Clinical Pastoral Education Group on November 02, 2007. Its purpose was (1) to incorporate a working knowledge of psychosocial disciplines and religious beliefs and practice in the provision of pastoral care, and (2) to process, reflect, and learn from the interpersonal, spiritual, and ethical dynamics that occurred during the chaplain's mother's dying process.
