More Powerful than the Grave
As a hospital chaplain, I met Mrs. Corrigan in an office adjacent to her oncologist’s office. She had just been talking with him about her terminal illness and about non-curative, comfort-care plans.

She had indicated that she wanted to see a chaplain for a series of spiritual care visits.
