Despite the increasing literature on the significance of spirituality to individuals with a terminal illness, specific research focused on the spirituality of individuals in hospice is limited to several quantitative studies, only one with a qualitative component. This qualitative study expands understanding or experience through hermeneutic analysis of in-depth interviews with three individuals with a terminal illness. The individual\u27s narratives revealed believing as the way they found meaning in the present moment. Always believing and adamantly believing in a Supreme Being gave their daily lives meaning and direction. They were steadfast in leaving all to God for this life and life after death. Implications for social work practice and policy are discussed
