“Spiritual practice is important to the aging of elderly sisters because it allows them to feel a sense of belonging, purpose, and continuity, which is important to their quality of life. It also prevents feelings of loneliness or hopelessness and serves as cognitive exercise."

^{(Corwin, 2014)}

“We need a new model to engage with our elderly sisters. One not just focused on giving them care, but also gaining from their wisdom and the presence of their person. We need to prepare at an earlier stage of life. We need to reflect more on age and death. And we need to educate ourselves on how to age wisely.”

(Sister, South Korea)
