1) Personal policy on appropriate touch:
It is my true belief that a touch of personal life experience must be exercised . I have been on the receiving end of this experience as a Chaplain came to me as my wife was in ICU. At this time it was at the end and came to give the last rights. As i watched him perform the last right as i held her hand there was a sense of peace that came over her .
The Chaplain did pray with my family and his hand on my shoulder then i felt peace also.While i understand that each situation will be different , I hope to beagle to read the situation and know what will be appropriate for the family in there time of need . allowing the Holy Spirit to be my guide . I also will ask if they are comfortable with that action prior to doing it and knowing there current condition and needs .
