Abstract

This paper presents a model of pastoral care based on recognizing death not just as an event that ends life but as a presence interdependent with life. It proposes that we constantly respond to the presence of death in life by encountering it or escaping it. An encounter response teaches relationship-oriented caring. A case presentation demonstrates a way of doing pastoral care based on an encounter response to the presence of death.
