Abstract:

The study focused on the experience of a young woman with breast cancer and aimed to understand the getting ill, the dying and her death, from the meaning attributed to the events of her life. It is based on the idea that one dies from what he or she has lived and in the way that this living is being given a new meaning over time. It is a qualitative research that presents itself as a study of situation which allowed for the construction of Beth’s Life Line through the use of her Life History in which stands out from her narratives, events considered remarkable by her and that confirmed her way of living and, in it, her dying. Besides the detailed description of how the interview meetings occurred, it also discusses two central categories of the study, called “Dying the life – the small deaths experienced by Beth” and “Beth living her dying and death”. The study emphasizes the need for the health professionals to assume responsibility for a kind of care that does not only view the cure, but that has as a focus human dimension, aiming to provide the well-being and maintenance of life, while possible.
