«A Morte» is the philosophical essay by Maria Filomena Mónica, published by Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos in paperback (82 pages, in Portuguese).
In this essay, Maria Filomena Mónica starts from an intimate confession: she knows she has few years of life left and, although she has had a full life, with children, grandchildren, books, music and travel, death does not inspire placidity in her. From there she reflects on how to face an incurable illness and on the role of the law in the decision of how to die.
Originally published in 2011, it is part of the Ensaios da Fundação series, in which it occupies number 18.
For readers interested in personal reflections on old age, death and the right to decide on the end of life.
