Comfort & Consolation: Care of the Sick and Dying
A Pastoral Letter from the Bishops of Maryland

This 48-page booklet helps Catholics think through the often difficult questions that arise in times of grave illness and impending death. Developed in light of Catholic teachings and in accord with Maryland law on advance directives, Comfort & Consolation includes a practical four-page form, the Catholic Declaration on Health Care Decision Making, that Catholics can use to tell health care providers how they wish to direct their care. It covers spiritual support, nutrition and hydration, pain-relieving medication, terminal illness and pregnancy.
