Summary/Abstract: Remembering the #colectiv tragedy (Bucharest, 10/30/2015), recorded as the most significant confrontation of the post 1989 Romanian society with the phenomenon of death, and recalling the public opinion’s reaction of that time regarding the involvement therein of the Romanian Orthodox Church, the present essay is examining the changes occurred in the attitude of the contemporary Romanian towards the death and the dying, highlighting the state of ambiguity in which it is found, in the absence of an assumed religious support. Next, after some clarifications of a liturgical order, the author is analyzing semantically a couple of elements of biblical vocabulary that could provide the necessary clarifications for a better “management” of the death and the dying. As a matter of fact, death can be full of life, in the end.
