Spiritual Issues

Because spinal cord injury can be a life changing event, your whole way of life - including your spirituality -- is challenged. You may find yourself questioning your life goals, work, responsibilities to your spouse or children, parents and friends. While there are five dimensions that comprise good health - social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual - spirituality is the one dimension that is usually overlooked. It is probably the least talked about and addressed in hospitals and other health care settings. It is also the dimension that may be the most controversial and misunderstood.
