Resumen
One of the greatest aspects that nursing usually deal with in their daily practice is the death of the person they are looking alter, and in many cases is considered as a failure of the therapeutic and care action, and so rejected due to its traumatic aspect for professionals and clients of sanitary attention. The poor study of our responsibilities when taking care of a person, defined by V. Henderson as �the help to a dignified death� makes us think about the cycle health-illness-death, to comprehend a process where nursing professionals can and have to be a fundamental help for the patient and his family. In this work we have tried to reflect on death process from philosophy and anthropology, with the aim of defusing, assume and relate our practice to this reality social and professionally rejected to help a person to die decently.
