Every person sooner or later learns that he or she is mortal, moreover, that everyone around him or her will die. Most people prefer to ignore this knowledge, and hide the fear of death in a far corner of consciousness. Death in modern society is as taboo a topic as possible. But it has not always been so. The authors of this book Maria Ramzaeva and Elena Foer reveal to us the history of the development of attitudes to death and the dead, tell us about the rituals and traditions that were accepted in our society, and how in the process of urban development people ceased to perceive death as a natural phenomenon, and the fear of this event has become the cause of many psychological disorders.
The authors help to deal with fears and anxious thoughts, to understand what the cause is and how they affect our lives every day. In the book you will find useful and detailed recommendations on how to come closer to accepting your own mortality and structuring your ideas about it. This book is not just a guide to preparing for death, but a sincere conversation about life.
