Death is a catalytic event in the human being. His certainty is an imperative that puts the subject in front of the perspective of his own finitude. However, the same human being, who is aware of the disastrous fate of his organism, lives most of the time as if the certainty of death was a fallacy. Studying the way life and, above all, death are thought and represented, is very useful to observe the processes that assist our effort to transform, even what is (was) strange, into something familiar. And, in relation to death, almost everything about it is, a priori, strange and uncomfortable, from the rituals associated with it (wake, funeral, coffin, burial or cremation) to the very decomposition of the body and, above all, to the absence of outgoing person. Some experiences during human development are analogous to the idea of death: separation, unemployment, illness and, even, events that bring joy, but that cause some kind of rupture. The social marginalization of losses and death in our society has weakened the human being and his resources to face the issues surrounding our finite existence. Losses and death are part of life and fulfill their social role, there is no life without death. In contact with finitude, the human being has the possibility to discover more authentic ways of existing. To reflect to give dignity to losses and death is also to give oneself a chance to enrich one's life throughall the lessons that these experiences are capable of using us. Starting from this, this work aims to bring up discussions and reflections that skirt the experience of death and dying, starting from the perspective of Existential Psychology.
