Sunny Hill

A child's illness or injury can be one of life's most distressing experiences. Watching a child or teenager suffer is, for many, an unbearable strain. It raises many intense emotions and often painful questions:

Spiritual care, provided by hospital chaplains, is available to help you explore these questions and others. The chaplain is able to:

• offer comfort and compassion


• listen to your story


• support you in your journey


• help with difficult decisions you may be facing


• offer spiritual support and prayer if you wish


• help you plan special services


• contact a local minister or spiritual leader

The chaplain can also help you explain to staff the needs you may have related to your religious beliefs. It is a belief of the Spiritual Care program that spiritual well-being is an important aspect of health and something worth striving for.
