Death is often considered taboo. It is problematic to talk about the experience of death, because it is always a future event. We perceive death as a boundary or limit of our existence, marking the way we experience temporality. At the same time, death is also seen as a gateway to a different dimension of our own and others' existence. The death of others highlights the role that relationships play in our lives.
