27 years of experience in the terminal-care and grief-care industry have brought it home to me that, in the scene of care, “humans are finite and imperfect.” In this extreme situation, coexisting with others and, especially, standing close with those who are in distress, are the most essential and significant factors in order for people to live well and healthily. Meanwhile, in the world of “terminal care” and “grief care”, where “death” is a vector, “spirituality” -related matters that go beyond human intelligence often become a very real topic of concern. In such cases, a care-giving scene may ultimately resemble what used to be the field of religion. In this paper, these matters will be described based on the author’s experience.
