Objective: to analyze the meanings of spirituality and the sense of life for people with hard-to-heal wounds. Method: a qualitative study conducted in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. The data related to the context of spirituality were constituted according to thematic analysis and, according to Minayo, organized and interpreted based on the phenomenology of Viktor Emil Frankl. Results: four categories emerged: the sense of life for a person with a hard-to-heal wound; the meaning of spirituality for a person with a hard-to-heal wound; consequences and weaknesses of living with the injury; and coping and resilience strategies among patients with wounds. Conclusion: it was found that spirituality has various meanings for the interviewees, who emphasized that faith helped them and, at the time of the research, was still helping them deal with negative feelings, pain, and the shame of having a chronic wound.
