PALS Study Topics — ‘Pastoring the Dying and Funeral Preparation'
Rev. Daniel T. Torkelson
Module: Pastoral Care
In this course, Rev. Dan Torkelson discusses the various "aspects" (not stages) of the dying and their
family members. For each of the aspects (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Submission), he
helps us to: recognize symptoms, understand the theological implications, and identify appropriate
scripture and pastoral care. He also leads us through discussion of providing care for the dying and
their family members in the funeral planning process while avoiding those things which can distract
from the Gospel.
