More and more people in Switzerland practice yoga, believe in rebirth and seek complementary medical treatment. Barbara Zeugin examines how this religious change affects the accompaniment at the end of life. Insofar as alternative forms of religion are increasing in Switzerland, it is not surprising if alternative religious practices and alternative healing methods are also used in accompaniment at the end of life the corresponding rationalizations are becoming more and more important. The reconstruction of such a dying care practice, conceived as an alternative, led the religious scholar first to a hospice for the seriously ill and dying and second to an anthroposophic medical hospital, where she observed and asked the following questions: What alternative religious forms of action and rationalizations are at play in the End of life support a role? What is the importance of alternative healing practices? What does the specific support practice look like? And what is the alternative to this practice or How does this relate to palliative care's claim to provide spiritual support for the seriously ill and dying?
