Death - way of learning

V delu predstavimo doživljanje smrti. Problem današnje medicine, ki smrt primerja z boleznijo, ni toliko v medicini kot v ljudeh, ki medicino predstavljajo, saj se smrti tako kot družba bojijo. Seznanili smo se, kako KKC in Koncilski odloki gledajo na smrt in umiranje.. Teološkemu razumevanju smrti sledi še razlaga iz stare in nove zaveze. Umiranje ni nikoli osebna stvar, ampak vpliva na ljudi, ki so bili povezani s umrlim. In jim dá misliti, kdaj pride njihov čas in kako ga pravilno ali najbolje izrabiti. Če prepoznamo pravi pomen smrti, nam postane vse življenje kot neko srečevanje in učenje minljivosti. V nadaljevanju preidemo k bolj pastoralnim problemom, kako se srečati z umirajočimi, jim pristopiti. Tudi v mnogih bolnišnicah ne komunicirajo z umirajočimi, saj so slednje namenjene bolnim, ki naj bi po določenem času ozdraveli in odšli naprej v življenje. Zato starejši raje umirajo doma kot v bolnišnicah. Paranormalno izkustvo ljudi, ki so umrli in se vrnili nazaj v življenje, vodi do radikalnih sprememb v njihovih življenjih. Smrt tudi za njih ostaja uganka, a se je več ne bojijo. Še naprej živijo svoje življenje in v učenju bistva življenja vidijo glavni pomen. Ugotavljamo, da spominjanje smrti buri duhove in domišljijo že vso človeško zgodovino. Smrt je sama po sebi skrivnost, ki ji ne bomo prišli nikoli do dna, vendar se nam je ni treba bati. Če se že moramo česa bati ob misli na smrt, je to sprejemanje napačnih odločitev v življenju.In this work we present the experience of death. The problem of contemporary medicine lies in its tendency to treat death as a diseasehowever, this has less to do with medicine per se and more with the people who represent it, as they fear death as much as the society does. We have examined the theological understanding of death in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Documents of the Second Vatican Council as well as explanations based on both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. Dying is never only a personal thing, as it also affects the people who are close to the dying person. It makes them think about their own death and how to make the best and most productive use of their remaining time. If we recognize the real meaning of death our entire life becomes like some kind of meeting with and learning transience of life. We then discuss pastoral issues, how to minister to the dying. In addition, the staff in many hospitals do not communicate with the dying, given that hospitals are not for the dying but for the sick who will get better after medical treatment and discharged. Hence the elderly prefer to die at home. People who have had paranormal near-death experience and have returned to life are compelled to make radical changes. Death for them remains a puzzle, but they are no longer afraid of it. They live their lives and see in learning about the essence of life its key meaning. We have found that thinking about death stirs the spirits of people and imagination of artists throughout human history. Death is a mystery in and of itself, which we will never be able to fathom, but we do not need to fear it. If we need to fear anything regarding death, it is making wrong decisions in life
