As the ICU Chaplain of a level I trauma center I provide trauma informed care to the many patients and their families who come into the hospital. As a spiritual care provider, my support is to the whole person, however, spirituality touches most people as they navigate one of the most difficult experiences of their lives. Often times the circumstances change quickly and decisions need to me made. As a chaplain, I provide a safe space for these difficult decisions to be made privately. Chaplains advocate for the rights of the patient. Many times I sit with family and friends to help them make the choices that the patient would make if they were able to choose. As an ordained minister I am able to provide the sacraments to patients, families, and staff as well. End of life grief care is one of the most common practices in the ICU. I often provide activities and opportunities for the loved ones of the patient to begin a healthy grief experience. As they talk about their loved one they share ways that the person will be remembered. I provide the opportunity for the family to make a handprint of the patient and sometimes they will make their handprint next to their loved one’s handprint. This is a powerful way of processing grief; even complicated grief. It is not uncommon for the patient to have a difficult relationship with their loved ones. I am often the one to facilitate an opportunity for them to do this in a safe way.Another important aspect of my job as a chaplain is to support the staff. I partnered with the management of the ICU to provide a support group to the staff throughout the pandemic. It was powerful to experience the ways that people who have a shared experience can support one another. I also provide support after a particularly difficult situation. I have facilitated debriefs to help the staff share their pain and begin to move forward before they leave for the day. I have also taught compassion fatigue support classes to staff.
