Edith BÉLANGER is a Canadian spiritual care worker at Maison Aube-Lumière, which welcomes advanced cancer patients and their families. Through her profession, she is in constant contact with death and the spiritual questions that arise at this time of passage.
She holds a Master's degree in Theology with a specialization in Spirituality and a Graduate Microprogram in Spiritual Care. She also holds a Bachelor of Education degree which has led her to various fields of training since 1992. |
She wrote a master's thesis entitled, "Passivity as Surrender to the Will of God in the Doctrine of Madame Guyon. Enjeux et interpellations de la controverse quiétiste." She has given several lectures on major themes of the spiritual life, inspired by her research on Madame Guyon (surrender, importance of the present moment, paths to divine union, flexibility, simplicity, etc.).
In collaboration with one of her ISS colleagues, she publishes articles on the relationship between spirituality and the end of life in the Maison Aube-Lumière newsletter. She has addressed, among other things, the issues of vulnerability, letting go and detachment.
Since 2012, she has been interested in the question of mourning and has accompanied several mourners in coming to terms with the emptiness following the death of a loved one.
