Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The life review has had a significant role in the spiritual care of the aged. It has influenced the developing discipline of narrative gerontology. This article proposes that the sense of self is storied, composed of various stories including the lazy story, the trauma story, the messy story, the avoided story, the body story, the problem story, and the focus of this article: the dark story. The spiritual dimension is linked to the God story. Each can enhance a life review. Two pastoral responses are suggested to hearing the dark story: mindful acceptance and self-compassion.
