Young dying mothers and fathers leave memories for their children and partners – and their voices – in audiobooks. Mourners write letters, poems and songs for and to their deceased children or companions. These ‘last words’, such intimate messages, give closeness in loss and give strength to live on. The very personal gestures of farewell help to keep the living and the dead in touch. The fact that they look at their lives and find their own expression for it actively and creatively contributes to the management of grief. https://www.swr.de/swr2/leben-und-gesellschaft/mein-abschied-swr2-glauben-2021-06-03-100.html
