| Abstract (English): | With quotations from other scholars of death, I have composed and I present some quick notes on death as the organizer of life. I hold the idea that death is needed for life to have meaning within this human search for completeness. I turn my eye towards a special situation relating to death: the reaction of individuals who witness and feel the death of one of their elders; people within the family or not who had taken on the task of caring for and being with the elderly person at the imminent end, and who humanely but powerlessly witness the time of solitary departure. A solitary death, but solely and particularly of that elderly person who was being cared for and of that person's natural end, as a human being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Con base en otros estudiosos de la muerte, expongo rápidos apuntamientos sobre la muerte como organizadora de la vida. Adopto la idea de la necesidad de la muerte para que la vida tenga sentido en esta busca humana de la complementariedad. Direcciono el estudio hacia una situación especial de relación con la muerte: la reacción de quienes se quedan al presenciar y sentir la muerte de uno de sus ancianos; la reacción de quien, familiar o no, asume su cuidado y acompaña su fin inminente; que presencia, humanamente impotente, la hora de la solitaria partida. Solitaria muerte, puesto que exclusiva propia de aquel anciano del cual cuidaba, de su fin natural como ser humano. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Com colocações de outros estudiosos da morte, teço e apresento apontamentos rápidos sobre a morte a organizar a vida. Esposo a idéia da necessidade da morte para que a vida tenha sentido nesta busca humana da completude. Endereço o olhar para uma situação especial de relação com a morte: a reação dos que ficam ao presenciar e sentir a morte de um dos seus idosos; daquele familiar, ou não, que assume o seu cuidado e acompanha o seu fim iminente; que presencia, humanamente impotente, a hora da solitária partida. Solitária morte, pois que exclusiva, própria daquele idoso do qual cuidava, do seu fim natural, por ser humano. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
