Fear and cultism towards death in western societies cause feelings of anguish and loneliness when something as natural as death approaches us. Hiding the truth to patients is quite common. The silence conspiracy is a fact between relatives and patients who see their life ending. For all that, it is worth asking: are we alone before death?.
