Toward Easing Suffering Through Reflection

Arthur Rank Hospice

This article is a partially constructed reflective narrative on my practice as a complementary therapist working with Indigo, a dying patient at the hospice, and her family that offers insights into practice and narrative construction. The reflective effort is to appreciate and work toward easing Indigo's suffering. However, this emerges as problematic and invites the reader to dialogue with the text in terms of the readers' own experiences.

Key Words: narrative • reflective practice • suffering • supervision • Therapeutic Touch
