«I would like to die an easy death, without pain and sorrow, particularly in my homeland, close to my family.»

Veton Rruka, Kosova

«I recall to have read that it is alarming if a person mourns longer than a certain amount of weeks. What a madness, what a callousness it is to pathologise grief!»

Andrea Gleiniger, Switzerland / Germany

«When someone dies, we also learn that we ourselves are mortal – and we reflect on the fact that we might die next.»

Domingos João Pedro Bernardo, Angola

«In general, the loss of a parent is a very, very big loss for a person as far as I think and it is a kind of shock. It takes a very long time for a person to return to a normal life and get out of grief and mourning.»

Rajneesh Yadav, India

«I have seen some dead people throughout my life. I do not know exactly how many, but probably more than 20, including relatives, injured people on the street or even theft victims murdered.»

Rafael Hernández Espinosa, Mexico

«I wish to have a burial, and to have a grave that my children may go to in order to commemorate me.»

Mukhabbat Kamalova, Karakalpakistan
