Loss and bereavement. Understanding the process leads to adequate pastoral activities.

Sažetak
Global but virtual access to the world, secularization of the
sacred and individualization of living, availability of unselected
information and fragmentation of life, are the context in which
an inadequate social perception of the experience of finitude,
confinement and death takes place. Consequently, today’s man
finds it difficult to deal with them when they become his own
reality. Along with traditional forms of support, coded by social
and religious institutions, alternative possibilities for facing
the loss and bereavement are offered, though not the safety of
successful closing of their process. Aware of unavoidable reality
of their presence, pastoral practice is challenged by questioning
its own pastoral care and liturgical practice.
