Abstract

Title – Died of what? Death as a family member and the social construction of passing away

 

Abstract

The cause of death seals the end of a journey but also contributes to the (in)completeness of a departure. One of the most cherished human perceptions is the recognition of one's finitude. To understand a death, one must consider its circumstances, the characteristics of the victim, and the affected family members. The view of death is a social construct. This article aims to analyze perspectives on life and death and to understand their impacts on the human capacity to survive.

Keywords: Death. Violent Death. Violence and Mourning. Family Mourning.
