Introduction

Death is inevitable, and something so tangible, so absolute, that plays an important role in human life and yet is so closed off. We are far from being prepared for death. Dying has been institutionalised and death and grief have been excluded from everyday life and community. This has led to a lack of familiarity not only with death but also with the grief that follows. Consequently we don’t know how to talk about it and how to give or ask for support. Moreover, what used to be the responsibility of relatives, namely care, charity and support, has become a costly field of experts and specialists. Today, we are confronted with a multitude of options and services when it comes to death and dying. Nevertheless, death is a comprehensive topic that raises many questions and where many factors can be taken into account
