Ep10 - Forgiveness

Reconciliation plays an important role in the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of palliative care, especially when addressing the profound impact of anger and regret. The act of forgiveness becomes significant towards the end of life as it holds the power to bring healing to both the forgiver and the forgiven. Expressing sentiments like "I am sorry" and "I forgive you" becomes particularly meaningful in this context.

Forgiveness is not only a gift bestowed upon others but also a profound act of self-compassion. The ability to let go of the past facilitates inner peace and serves as a powerful relief from the burden of resentment or grievances, thereby contributing to the reduction of psychological and spiritual pain.

This episode’s theme is forgiveness and we explore how uttering the words "I forgive you" opens pathways for deeper emotional connection and sharing during the remaining time, fostering a sense of closure and understanding. In the realm of end-of-life care, embracing forgiveness emerges as a transformative and therapeutic practice that brings solace to those involved. Today, we hear from 3 guests who've experienced forgiveness & reconciliation
