Thomas Gröbly nimmt seine Krankheit und die Zukunft seines zweijährigen Enkels als Ausgangspunkt für Fragen zu Leben und Tod. In seiner Auseinandersetzung mit dem Ende seines Lebens und den bedrohten sozialen, ökologischen sowie ökonomischen Lebensbedingungen für seinen Enkel entwickelt er Ideen, wie wir die eigenen und die Grenzen des Planeten respektieren können.

Breve guía para entender y afrontar la muerte. Gracias a los avances de la medicina, nos hemos acostumbrado a negar la presencia de la muerte como parte natural de la vida. De fallecer en el espacio privado de la casa se ha pasado a la parquedad de una camilla de hospital, donde nos encontramos con un sistema de salud poco preparado para guiar emocionalmente al paciente y a sus familiares en este duro proceso. En la lucha por evitar a toda costa la muerte, hemos perdido la capacidad para entenderla y enfrentarla cuando, tarde o temprano, llega la hora.

Tercer episodio de la colección Primera Temporada. La labor de Nathaniel Fisher en su funeraria, su sorpresiva muerte, los secretos encontrados por su familia y la forma en que esta lleva el duelo hicieron de la serie creada por Alan Ball un éxito rotundo. Con gran habilidad, la autora conecta su argumento con textos de Thomas Lynch, Junichiro Tanizaki, Yasunari Kawabata y Juan Rulfo, sin olvidar la relación con la vida real, la que está fuera de la pantalla y los libros. Este ensayo iguala la inevitable cita con la muerte con el acto cotidiano de ir al baño.

When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom.

Corridors of Contagion brings to light the experiences of five people incarcerated across the United States as they navigate the onset of the pandemic-and the many months, stretched into years, that followed. Journalist Victoria Law combines this storytelling with a trenchant analysis of the structural failures of the US carceral system: failures that made prisons uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks, from overcrowding to solitary confinement, from insufficient healthcare to life sentences.

The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.

There is untold history of Tudor England - the history of the several million subjects of their famous kings and queens. What did ordinary people do all day, in their homes, their work, their leisure and travel? An Accidental History of Tudor England explores the history of everyday life, and everyday death.

It happened in an instant. Ed was walking through a park with his friend Stuart when there was a bang, a bright light and then nothing. Ed and Stuart had been hit by a bolt of lightning – 300 million volts, enough to power a city for a day, coursed through their bodies, short-circuiting their hearts. Ed was found first, given life-saving CPR to start his heart again, and he survived and had a second chance. He lives life a little differently now, every day knowing the thin margins that separate life and death.

In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility.
