Com que roupa eu vou?: Costurando a relação da morte com a inteligência espiritual com a agulha da Ciências da Religião.

Abstract

This thesis explores the complex relationship between death, its various phases and the development of spiritual intelligence, with an emphasis on how these aspects influence the human experience of finitude. The research investigates the fear of death and the strategies for denying it over time, highlighting the cultural and social transformations that have shaped the way societies deal with the end of life. It also examines the role of rituals, ceremonies and festivals related to death, such as funerals and periods of mourning, in the process of coping with loss. Spiritual intelligence is approached as a fundamental resource to help the individual deal with death more serenely, offering a sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of finitude. The thesis proposes a holistic view that integrates emotional, spiritual and cultural aspects, emphasizing the importance of developing practices that can reduce the fear of death, providing a more compassionate and meaningful approach to the process of dying and bereavement.
