Summary/Abstract: The article contains the consideration devoted to the experience of a mother’s death descri- bed by authors of different generations in texts written in the 21st century.

The intensity of emotions, more often overt, some- times hidden by writers, becomes an essential common ground in contemporary communication circuits.
