A morte, destino comum a todos os seres vivos, é tabu na cultura ocidental. Organizado por Teresa Vera de Sousa Gouvêa e Karina Okajima Fukumitsu, psicólogas especialistas em luto, este livro reúne treze relatos nos quais os autores compartilham, de maneira sensível e poética, experiências de vida em que a presença da morte lhes trouxe aprendizados transformadores. Entre os temas abordados estão: a morte súbita e a morte lenta; a morte em idade precoce e aquela em idade avançada; a perda de um pai e a perda de um filho; a morte esperada e aquela que interrompe planos.

A morte em si já constitui um grande tabu no mundo ocidental. O mesmo se pode dizer do luto, sobretudo quando ele não é visto como tal – são as chamadas perdas simbólicas e/ou ambíguas.

Dividida em quatro partes – "Os lutos do ser", "Os lutos do estar", "Os lutos do cuidar" e "Engajamento social: do silêncio à ação" –, a obra conta ainda com um posfácio sobre a pandemia de Covid‑19, que varreu o mundo e continua assolando o Brasil.
