Cover Story: This article introduces the significance of the religious experiences of older people receiving palliative care at home. By utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the religious experiences of dying people aged 65+ are scrutinized. It becomes clear that religious experiences are closely linked to the individual’s personal relationship network. These experiences provide comfort and support; furthermore, religious struggles were described. Participants’ religious experiences formed from both traditional Christian practices and expressions of lived religion. The importance of nature became clear when interviewees were considering their personal world views. Further, planning one’s own death and encountering personal mortality was found as calming. It is concluded that open discussion on death, dying, and religious matters should be encouraged as part of palliative care. View this paper.
