This author researched the connections between spirituality and aging with fifty healthy elderly adults in a continuing care retirement community. The participants were religiously diverse, including some unaffiliated with either a church or synagogue. Using a questionnaire, residents were interviewed regarding their sources of hope and comfort, religious participation, spiritual practices, psychological age and fear of death. For the majority of the participants, a personal sense of the Divine, long term participation in a faith community and varying forms of prayer were essential to their ability to feel psychologically young and unafraid of death.
