Psychiatrist and bioethicist Robert Klitzman here explores the need for spiritual guidance among patients and their families who are experiencing illness. They often struggle to make sense of their situation, and as they confront their mortality they will try to seek hope, purpose, and larger connections beyond the world of medicine.
