Spirituality has been described as a person's experience of, or belief in, a power apart from his or her own existence. It is the individual's sense of relationship or connection with a power or force, which may or may not be a deity. Broad associations include belief in a power greater than oneself, a system of ethics, a purpose in life, the ability to forgive, gratitude for life, the ability to find meaning in suffering, trust in providence, and faith.
