Ars moriendi — the art of dying

Ars moriendi—the art of dying—emerged in medieval Christianity as a practical discipline for approaching death with intentionality, acceptance, and spiritual clarity rather than fear or denial. Revived in contemporary contexts from hospice work to contemplative practice, it treats dying not as failure but as a significant threshold deserving preparation and presence.
