Description
Résumé:This narrative study discerned the spiritual resources that will accompany baby boomers into their later years. Twelve participants (six men and six women, born between 1946 and 1955 in Ontario, Canada) reflected on their lives and what has sustained them and will sustain them in the future. Spiritual resources were ultimately defined as those things, both internal and external, that address deep human need for such spiritual values as love, hope, peace, and joy. While valuing aspects of traditional religion, with openness to explore and learn, themes of "Self," "Someone," and "Space" frame these boomers’ further reflections.
