Jefferson recognizes that a diagnosis is an emotional experience for our patients and their loved ones. In addition to your physical needs, you may have emotional and spiritual needs that are an important part of your healing process. We are here for you, to listen, to comfort and to care. We honor the beliefs and traditions that bring meaning to you. We respect the views of all religions, denominations and personal philosophies. The impact of emotional and spiritual distress is unique to you. Through reverently acknowledging your story, we support you and your loved ones through your personal journey. We provide a listening presence to hear your burdens and concerns, your worries and fears, your questions of meaning under distressing circumstances, your feelings and the spectrum of emotions, that are on your heart and on your mind Over the next few months we invite you to join us in an open conversation. This is an opportunity for those who are any stage of a cancer treatment, from diagnosis to remission and all points in between. We welcome all including families and loved ones, those who are on the journey with you. Meaning Making: What are some of the ways to make meaning? What works? What doesn’t? Who hears your questions?
