When a Loved One is Dying

People often say “I’ll pray for you.” But does prayer actually help? In this video, I break down what science says about the power of prayer, what surprised me, and what I’ve seen firsthand as a hospice nurse. Research has studied prayer for decades, including a large 2006 study of nearly 800 heart surgery patients. The results showed something unexpected: prayer didn’t improve physical healing, but it did seem to help the person doing the praying. Science has found that prayer and meditation can lower anxiety, reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and create a sense of peace. Brain imaging studies even show reduced activity in fear centers and increased emotional control during prayer. When dealing with any medically related events or medical emergencies, please communicate with your primary health care provider.
