Caring for mourning-related suffering

Abstract

Mourning is a suffering experience different from pain one. Nevertheless, we must note that although perceived as na experience at the inner dimension of the person, the body is the place where mournig takes place. So, it occurs in a body but also within the relational and symbolic dimensions of the person. We are inserted in communities that have different meanings for pain, death and suffering; which allow us to relieve their impact in one’s life. We reflect here about some of these meanings.
