Description
Nik Lampe and co-authors study how faith communities shape end-of-life planning for LGBTQ+ older adults, in a 2023 paper. Many such adults face rejection in religious settings, yet some find real welcome. Survey data from 1,256 older adults showed 63 percent of LGBTQ+ respondents held a religious affiliation, and about a third attended services several times a year or more.
Regular attenders were more likely to have a spouse at home and reported larger support networks and more advice support. Interviews with 47 people explored how congregations help or hinder preparation for end-of-life care. The authors urge care planners to treat faith ties as a real, if uneven, source of strength.
